Training
The Directorate of EDI offer training opportunities both face-to-face and online.
Essential training
All new starters and colleagues involved in any stage of the reruitment process complete an online module on diversity in the workplace as part of their induction process. This online module intends to support colleagues to become familiar with equality legislation and looks in detail at all equality groups.
All colleagues involved in any stage of the recruitment process should complete an additional online module on unconscious bias. This online module focuses on definitions, examples, and different scenarios all around the theme of unconscious bias.
Both of the above modules should be repeated every three years.
Additional training
Please refer to the individual Equality Groups pages for specific training available under each of these characteristics.
The team also supports wider training available to staff through Organisational Development as well as working with the three faculties to develop training for students.
Working in collaboration with the relevant Organisational Development Partner, the EDI team can develop bespoke sessions for a particular area or adapt an existing training package. We are currently rolling out Active Bystander Training accross all areas of the University. If you would like to find out more please contact us.
