Course Information

Equality & Diversity is a practical, reflective course that goes beyond compliance to help organisations and individuals put inclusion into action.

Designed with the creative, cultural, and heritage sectors in mind (but relevant to any workplace), it blends legal frameworks with practical strategies, case studies, and scenario-based learning.


You’ll explore how to:

  • Understand the 9 Protected Characteristics
    Learn what they are under the Equality Act 2010 and what true inclusivity looks like in practice.

  • Identify and Address Discrimination
    Recognise direct, indirect, and associative discrimination and respond appropriately.

  • Promote Equality & Diversity in Practice
    Embed inclusive behaviours and policies into daily work, recruitment, and decision-making.

  • Explore the Medical vs. Social Model of Disability
    Understand the shift from seeing disability as a personal issue to addressing the societal barriers that create exclusion.

  • Implement Reasonable Adjustments
    Make changes that allow colleagues, volunteers, and audiences to participate fully.
