TUC Diploma in Equalities

(36 WEEKS)

Unions have always been at the forefront of the drive for equality at work, whether through the struggle for equal pay, through tackling racism or working for equal access to learning and skills. This diploma is designed to bring together all the threads of the equality agenda so that reps have a thorough grounding in union policy, best practice and equality law and how it can be applied to their own organisation.

This course is for reps that have completed the Union Reps Stage 1 course and also the Stage 2 (Union Reps Stepping Up) or equality short courses including: Disability Champions @ Work, Equality reps or others.

Course starts Thursday 20th September 2012
