ILM Level 4 Award in managing equality and diversity in an organisation
View scheduled dates
With the advent of the Equality Act
2010, more organisations and individuals are becoming aware of
their rights, responsibilities and the risks involved in any
non-compliance with the Act.
The Act imposes certain obligations on everyone concerned with
the provision of services to the public whether in the private,
public or voluntary sectors. Under the Act, the provision of
services includes the provision of goods or facilities.
Codes of Practice, recently published by the Equality and Human
Rights Commission, confirm that service providers will be liable
for unlawful acts committed by their employees unless they can
demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent such
acts. This demonstration may provide a suitable defence.
Employers are more likely to be able to comply with their duties
under the Act - and prevent their employees from discriminating
against service users or customers - if they can demonstrate the
following "reasonable steps":
- Have developed and communicated a robust equality and diversity
policy
- Have ensured that staff understand the meaning of equality in
the context of the policy and
- Have made staff aware of their legal obligations under the
Act
Designed to support the implementation of the reasonable steps
detailed above and help demonstrate compliance, our new ILM Level 4
qualification aims to develop:
- An up to date knowledge of the Equality Act 2010
- An appreciation of its implications and benefits
- An ability to define your own equality and diversity action
plan and implement measures to achieve it
- An ability to contribute to reducing the risks of possible
future litigation
This is a single-unit, taught qualification that is accredited
by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), the UK's
leading management qualification body. Following the two-day taught
element of the qualification, participants will be given a
work-based assignment to complete, supported by the trainer who
will carry out one-to-one tutorials.
Learners from all sectors will gain great work-based benefit
from the qualification. The assignment will allow learners to
review their existing culture in relation to equality and
diversity, develop activities to implement good equality and
diversity practices and manage equality and diversity on an ongoing
basis.
For private and third sector organisations involved in tendering
for public sector work, having an in-house, qualified champion will
demonstrate and evidence your commitment to equality and
diversity.
