Details of Activity
With the aim of improving overall staff awareness of equality and diversity issues, the School set up online equality and diversity training for all staff; modules included 'Diversity in the Workplace' and 'Recruitment and Selection'. With a particular focus on admissions tutors and the Welfare and Communications group, a half day of training was organised and staff were encouraged to attend through regular reminders on staff bulletins and notice boards.
Outcomes
Attendance of staff and the quality of training were continuously monitored, finding that E-learning modules and/or training courses were undertaken by 159 (40%) members of staff. Training courses entitled 'Think what you Think' and 'Types of Discrimination', received positive feedback from staff and led to an increase in staff signing up for further training courses.
