Who should attend
This training session is aimed at those working in the education sector.
Synopsis
Legal trends, societal change and the impact of the pandemic on established working practices are creating new EDI challenges for employers. In this session, we will explore this changing landscape and consider recent case law developments and legislation to draw out some key legal themes for institutions as they strive to be truly inclusive workplaces.
We will examine the following areas and the challenges and opportunities they present:
− emerging trends in discrimination law, including the impact of the menopause and proximity bias
− gender identity rights including relevant legislation, case law and new developments
− the evolving interface between freedom of speech and harassment
− difficult/tricky scenarios and issues and how to manage them
