Please note this course is now fully booked. We hope to run the course again in the next couple of months. Make sure you are signed up to our training mailing list to receive details. You can also enter your details on the waiting list for the course. 

This one day training course is designed to raise awareness of human rights ideas, principles and standards and how they relate to equality. It will focus on how human rights provide a practical tool for tackling inequality and disadvantage.

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles, standards and features of human rights and how rights 'work'
  • Explain the key purpose and features of human rights legislation relevant to the UK, in particular the Human Rights Act
  • Understand how human rights relate to equality and diversity
  • Have greater confidence in raising human rights concerns and in identifying human rights issues in their work

The course is designed for individuals working on equalities issues in the public or third sectors. A good level of knowledge about equalities is assumed, but no prior knowledge of human rights is required.

The course will be interactive with a mix of presentations, discussions, group exercises and action planning.
