Hi Lyn Thank you for raising this issue - I'm relatively new in post so have been pondering on EDI training We are in the process of securing new EDI online training - can you tell me which company you are using? In answer to your questions, at this point I would say: Induction should be a mixture of compulsory e-learning and face to face depending on role and level of seniority would be my preference - so that the face to face meets local need, is relevant to different roles in the university and is directly linked to our University business plan, KPIs etc I would see a bit of a distinction between the legal aspects / compliance training and the Inclusion agenda Legal / compliance: Compulsory e learning on generic equality and diversity, equality in the workplace, anti-discrimination - all new starters Compulsory e-learning EIA training for supervisors/ managers and above together with some face to face options to make the EIA process more relevant to different areas of the business Other e-learning training would include anti hate/bullying, Prevent. These would be supported by face to face training, awareness raising activities and promotional events - and would follow on from the Induction training via individuals performance and development plan Inclusion: Included in the mandatory induction e-learning in relation to the protected characteristics , diversity in the workplace, language / respect etc - and then taken forward through awareness raising events, workshops, bespoke training In reality I am a sole officer so my capacity to provide face to face support around induction is going to be limited - it will depend on who else I can get to support * If you can share your e-learning provider details that would be much appreciated Kind regards Gill Gill Grainger Head of Equality and Diversity tel: 01785 353391 or 07796 996906| email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | web: www.staffs.ac.uk<http://www.staffs.ac.uk/> Staffordshire University, Law Building, Room 020, Stoke on Trent, ST4 2DF [New Executive Logo April 2015] [Email footer for all staff] From: HEEON equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lynda Tout Sent: 05 March 2018 13:55 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Induction for equality Good afternoon, We have had a compulsory 'Equality Induction' session (face to face) for all new staff for many years. As HR have now released an online training platform containing a number of courses, one of which contains generic but very good equality information, I am taking the opportunity to review the session I present so that it complements this rather than duplicating it.... so for example focussing on the public sector equality duty only rather than summarising the whole Equality Act when discussing legislation. This will free time within the session (currently 90 minutes) to include more of the HE specific advice around equality and diversity and I wondered if I could ask colleagues to share what they would see as essentials to be discussed with new staff? If you currently manage equality induction and don't mind sparing me a few minutes of your time, it would be really helpful to understand:- * What elements you cover and in what depth * How long a session you run * Whether it is compulsory for all new staff or optional Or indeed if you only provide online training to new staff, as I believe many of you do through Marshall or another online platform, can you let me know whether you feel comfortable with that approach? Many thanks if you're able to help.
