Course Information

All of us make judgements and assumptions every day, some of which we are aware of and some of which we are not. Unconscious, or implicit, bias is a response that we all use to make instinctive decisions, using pre-existing information to shortcut decision making processes. This can be useful if we are in danger and need to act quickly, but it can also influence our judgment about people and situations in negative or unfair ways. 

This course will help you to understand the many forms unconscious bias can take, how to recognise and tackle its effects within your work and widen your perspective.

  • Impact of Bias on Professional Practice: Explore how unconscious bias can influence safeguarding decisions, project management, team dynamics, and recruitment processes, potentially leading to inequitable outcomes.

  • Mitigation Strategies: Learn practical strategies to counteract unconscious bias, ensuring that it does not negatively impact your professional relationships, decision-making, or organisational culture.

  • Self-Reflection and Growth: Engage in self-reflection exercises designed to help you recognise your own biases and develop strategies to address them proactively.
