Course Description

This BYTSYZ online course will enable students to understand the concepts of equality and diversity and enable them to understand peoples' rights and responsibilities in relation to these concepts.

During their study the student will gain an understanding of the values and beliefs that underpin human diversity and learn to identify the range of human characteristics that create such diversity. There will be an exploration of how negative views of human diversity can lead to stereotyping and prejudice.

The course will examine the traits of discrimination enabling the student to differentiate between direct and indirect discrimination, which will lead the student into exploring harassment and victimisation and the impact this can have on individuals. A key focus is about achieving anti-discriminatory practice and enabling the student to recognise and confront discriminatory practice in others.

There is an important examination of the Human Rights Act and the legislation that serves to maintain equality and ensure the acceptability of human diversity.

At the end of the study the student will be encouraged to take personal action and develop a personal action plan to enhance their equality and diversity practice. BYTSYZ encourages the participation of line managers in the development and evaluation of this plan.
