Training a team? We can help.
Many care providers, NHS teams and employers use our eLearning to keep staff training current. A business account lets you buy courses in bulk, assign them to staff and track completion in one place. That gives you a clear record for audits and inspections.
Since 2008, Medipro has trained thousands of health and care professionals in the classroom and online. We can help you build a training plan that mixes eLearning with practical, tutor-led courses at our centres.
Is equality and diversity training a legal requirement?
The Equality Act 2010 does not name a specific course. However, employers can be liable for staff discrimination unless they took all reasonable steps to prevent it. Training is a common part of those steps.
What are the nine protected characteristics?
Age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. This equality and diversity training online covers each one.
How often should staff refresh equality and diversity training?
There is no legal expiry. Many employers refresh this training annually or every 1–3 years, depending on policy.
