Understanding Sex Discrimination
13th & 14th September Taunton
Who is it for?
This course is aimed at Branch Women’s Officers and women Stewards who would like to be more familiar with equality legislation, the legal forms of Sex Discrimination and be confident to support and advise members.
More than a quarter of women have experienced some form of sex discrimination in the workplace. Everyone has the right not to be discriminated against at work because of their sex. What constitutes sexist behaviour or a sexist remark?
Are your workplace policies equality proofed to ensure against sex discrimination? Many members suffer at work due to lax attitudes regarding sexist behaviour and language, as well as workplace polices that are ineffective because they are either poorly written or not correctly used.
The course will cover:
- Attitudes, behaviour, and language
- Examining workplace cultures
- Equality Act (2010)
- Workplace policies
