Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) – Foundations and Practice

This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the core principles and practical applications of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) across different contexts—particularly within workplaces, educational settings, and wider society.

What is EDI?

• Equality is about ensuring everyone has equal access to opportunities and is not treated unfairly due to protected characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, or religion.
• Diversity involves recognising, valuing, and celebrating differences in people’s backgrounds, perspectives, and identities.
• Inclusion focuses on creating environments where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and able to fully participate and contribute.

Together, these principles aim to build fairer, more effective organisations and communities.

Promoting equality, embracing diversity, and fostering inclusion are not just ethical or legal imperatives—they are essential to creating positive, innovative, and high-performing environments. EDI plays a crucial role.  Regardless of your role or sector, you have a part to play in advancing EDI. This course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to reflect critically, act responsibly, and contribute meaningfully to a more inclusive society.
