Conversations about identity and protected characteristics can feel challenging. Staff may be concerned about using the wrong language, causing offence, or explaining why this information is being collected. This interactive, in-person course, delivered by SARI, will help you approach these conversations with greater confidence, sensitivity and clarity.
The session explores the importance of collecting accurate equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) data, and how it supports a better understanding of the people who access our services. You will examine how EDI information can help identify inequalities, inform more personalised support, improve services and ensure people are recognised as whole individuals. The course also covers identity, culture, intersectionality, disproportionality and the legal context for the collection of equality data.
Through a range of practical and reflective activities in a safe environment, you will develop the skills and confidence to have meaningful conversations about identity and protected characteristics. Activities may include group discussions, film clips, podcasts, case scenarios, skills practice, script-writing exercises, and sharing examples of effective language and approaches. The session concludes with an opportunity to reflect on your own practice and identify practical actions you can take in your role.
