Equality Act 2010 – information and training sessions for managers
All managers are invited to attend an information session on the Equality Act 2010. The session will highlight your responsibilities as a manager to fulfil specific equality duties, which include:
- Setting equality objectives
- Collation of information on protected groups
- Publishing information in a format which is accessible to all
- It will also give an introduction on how to carry out Equality Analysis (which replaces Equality Impact Assessments).
The session will take place on Tuesday 13 December from 12.30-2pm in room LRB301 and lunch will be provided. To book a place on this information session, visit the online training system.
Training sessions will also be taking place in January 2012. These sessions will give you the opportunity to:
- explore the importance of the Act
- find out about the ‘due regard’ requirements you need to be aware of contained in the Public Sector Equality Duty
- and learn the specific equality duties which support these.
The course will highlight key trends and lessons from legal cases, particularly those that have had a bearing on higher education institutions.
The information session, and the January training sessions, will be jointly led by the School’s Equality and Diversity Adviser, Carolyn Solomon-Pryce, and Dr Ossie Stuart.
