Workplace training
We have provided extensive training on good practice in employment and the workplace, across the peninsula. After the new Employment Regulations came into force in 2003 we were twice successful in obtaining grant-funding from the Department for Trade and Industry to provide training and other resources for employers in the peninsula on what the new Regulations meant in practice for them.
Our workplace training is founded on our knowledge of local issues in employment, gathered from our community work and our helpline and advocacy casework, and on our experience with our own service-users and supporters who are affected by the cross-cutting discrimination issues such as race, gender, disability, age, and religion or unbelief.
Apart from general employment law and good practice, the community-specific legislation includes:
- the Sex Discrimination (Gender Reassignment) Regulations 1999
- the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003
- the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007.
Our training focuses on employment practices (including recruitment, retention, promotion and vocational training), the key issues concerning discrimination within the workplace environment, and good practice and the law in relation to provision by employees of goods and services to the public.
For information about our workplace training, or on any of the issues mentioned above, please contact us.
For examples of the organisations for which we have already provided short-term or long-term training, please see our main training page.
