Embedding Equality and Diversity into Everyday Practice
Embedding Equality and Diversity into Everyday Practice. Resource pack with help and advice in how to embed equality and diversity in every aspect of work.
About this resource
This pack covers everything from the basic concepts of equality and diversity, the equality profile in the sector and the legal picture. It then goes on to look at the quality processes of inspection and self assessment before looking in detail at embedding equality and diversity in teaching and learning and learning support.
Often, ‘front-line’ workers express concern as to how to challenge and help to change the behaviour of others. After all, there is a vast range of training and support to enable us to ensure that our own personal and professional practice is of the highest standard. This pack provides outstanding support of this kind but goes further to identify the kinds of behaviours which we need to challenge in others and strategies for successfully so doing.
The information and resources provided within the pack are excellent and the activities (signposted throughout and grouped at the end of the pack) provide a wonderful range of opportunities for training and development for ourselves, our teams and our learners.
This resource is for managers, business support staff, teachers and trainers and especially anyone who works directly with learners, the pack provides help and advice in how to further embed equality and diversity in every aspect of our work.
