A case study evaluating Equality and Diversity practice in an FE college within a catchment area with a predominantly white population.
The project aimed to contribute to the College’s annual equality objectives. The main outputs included a Positive Action PTLLS Course leading to a level 4 qualification for Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) staff; the delivery of a Job Search Workshop for unsuccessful BAME job applicants (200 in total with 21 people attending; delivery of a Leadership Programme and Career Development Workshop).
This case study illustrates how JTL, a national training provider to the building services engineering sector, embedded safeguarding through staff training, policies and procedures and learner engagement. It presents the approach adopted, the changes made and their impact.
This is an example, developed by Newcastle UXL, an independent training provider, of a self assessment review template for providers promoting the welfare of children. It sets out 45 standards against which providers can record evidence and set recommendations for improvement and timescales for implementing them.
This resource comprises materials relating to a workshop aiming to emphasise how a whole organisation approach is key to the effective application of safeguarding practice, and to raise awareness of providers' obligations under safeguarding legislation. The resource relates to the legislation that was introduced in October 2009.
This tool is intended to support providers in identifying progress against key inclusion criteria and highlighting priorities for action. As such it provides a ‘health check’ that enables you to review inclusive practice and inform action planning in your organisation. The sections used in this tool bring together the action points outlined in the sections of the related resource "Leading Inclusion: A Guide to Good Practice in Leadership of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Learning and Skills Sector".
This guide looks at how fourteen providers that have demonstrated good practice in equality, diversity and inclusion have acted to improve and succeed in this area. The related "EDI audit tool: Supporting Leadership of Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the Learning and Skills sector" is based on this guide and can support providers in identifying progress against key inclusion criteria and highlighting priorities for action.
The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) and University and College Union (UCU) commissioned this research to identify the age-related challenges and barriers to realising full potential of staff within the further education and skills sector. In particular, it aimed to find out what equality means and looks like in the further education and skills sector.
This set of five resources was developed to support organisations in the further education and skills sector to understand and apply principles that promote equality within workforce planning and organisational development, with a specific focus on age equality. The resources are intended to be practical and informative, to promote understanding and share learning on approaches taken by others on age equality.
