Diversity - making it real

Friday 16 December 2011, Birmingham

Diversity affects you in all aspects of your everyday and working life. It acknowledges that you live in a society with communities of people of differing race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, belief and disability.

Working with organisations made up of individuals and communities from diverse backgrounds and experiences you will face challenges, not just in communicating and identifying needs, but in finding the right way to empower and enable people to improve their lives.

This introductory course will help you:

• develop the knowledge and skills you need to understand diversity and tackle inequality in the groups you work with
• look at the similarities and differences between equal opportunities and diversity
• introduce you to UK legislation on diversity
• provide you with practical strategies to address diversity issues in the groups you support.
