Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Essentials training course will be updated on Monday 20 April 2026. The updated course provides an understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and what it means for staff in their day‑to‑day roles.
What’s changing
The refreshed EDI Essentials course explores:
- Understanding what Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is and why it matters
- The responsibilities of individuals and organisations to uphold equality, fairness and respect under the Equality Act 2010
- How EDI principles connect to university policies, guidance and real‑world case studies
This course is available to everyone at the university and will become mandatory for all staff and affiliates from Monday 20 April 2026. You must re‑take and pass the course every three years following your initial completion.
We remain committed to protecting academic freedom and operating in line with our Freedom of Speech Code of Practice. This training supports a shared understanding of the values and behaviours expected across our university community.
