Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. (IDAHOBIT special)

To recognise International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on 17th May, Greater Manchester Youth Network (GMYN) are delighted to offer this course providing the fundamentals of equity, diversity and inclusion. This course will also include a special spotlight on IDAHOBIT in keeping with 2024's theme: “No one left behind: equality, freedom and justice for all”. Anti-discriminatory practice is a core value within different sectors and disciplines therefore an embedded understanding of EDI is essential for the wellbeing of service users and employees. It is also an integral element of social value frameworks and principles. The course explores integrating EDI themes within working practices with key considerations on how to ensure a safe and positive experience for different stakeholders.

The course will cover the following objectives:

1. For staff to feel included and represented within their organisation

2. For staff to have an understanding of current legislation and protected characteristics

3. For staff to feel able to challenge others on inappropriate or offensive language

4. For staff to understand the importance of self-awareness and how to apply this in practice

5. For staff to understand the barriers that service users may face in accessing services and put measures in place to overcome them

6. For staff to feel confident in ensuring services are accessible and inclusive

The training will be delivered by GMYN trainers with a wealth of experience delivering training and equalities work. Attendees will receive an electronic certificate of attendance within two weeks of the course and be invited to complete a post course evaluation form to provide essential feedback on their course experience.
