Direct and Indirect Discrimination Training Overview
Direct and Indirect Discrimination Training introduces professionals to the key principles of equality, fairness, and inclusivity in the workplace. The course explains how discrimination can occur in recruitment, promotion, pay, and daily interactions, whether intentional or unintentional. Learners gain a clear understanding of how to identify, prevent, and respond to discriminatory practices in line with equality legislation and organisational policy.
Being formally trained in recognising direct and indirect discrimination helps managers, HR professionals, and team leaders create safer and more inclusive workplaces. It enhances awareness of unconscious bias, strengthens compliance with legal frameworks, and reduces the risk of grievances or reputational harm. Participants also gain the confidence to promote equal opportunities and embed diversity and inclusion into everyday workplace culture.
At Training Deals, this course is delivered through expert-led sessions, real-world examples, and interactive case studies. Learners benefit from flexible study options, affordable pricing, and ongoing support designed to translate knowledge into practical action. With Training Deals, professionals gain not only the legal awareness but also the behavioural insight to foster fairness, equality, and respect across all levels of their organisation.
