New dates announced for the University of Warwick programme in
2010 / 2011!
This is the first Level 4 University-accredited Qualification in
Managing Diversity and Equality in the UK!

Certificate in Managing Diversity and
Equality
This qualification
is only available at Level 4
The Warwick University Certificate in Managing Diversity and
Equality is aimed at practitioners in the public, private and
voluntary sectors who have a primary responsibility for
Diversity and Equalities policies and procedures within their
own organizations or departments. The
programme explores how public, private, and voluntary sector
organisations can best respond to the challenge of delivering
their services in our increasingly diverse society
The Warwick University Certificate consists of three core
modules:
Module 1 - Meeting the Challenge of Diversity.
This introductory module develops students’ understanding of the
business case for diversity in modern Britain, and enables them
to assess the extent to which their own organisation is
compliant with current legislation in relation to the six
strands of Diversity.
There is a strong focus upon identifying the opportunities and
the challenges that diversity presents to organisations in the
public, private and voluntary sectors, and by using case
studies, the module explores how issues such as ethnicity,
disability, gender, faith, sexuality and age, all impact on the
way in which services are delivered and accessed in the UK
today.
Students will also develop their understanding of how to use
monitoring and evaluation to improve inclusivity in employment
and service delivery.
Module 2 - Respecting Diversity and Promoting Equality.
Respecting Diversity and Promoting Equality explores the
development of our diverse multicultural and multi-faith
society, and seeks out good practice in ensuring that the
workplace is respectful of different faiths and cultures, as
well as inclusive for people with disabilities and complex
personal needs.
This module also seeks out good practice for organisations with
a statutory duty to ‘promote equality’ under current
legislation, and identifies ways in which we can effectively
“promote equality” for members of our most disadvantaged
communities, such as Gypsies and Travellers and people with
Learning Disabilities.
Students should also explore the degree to which social class
underlies disadvantage in modern Britain, and be able to
recognise the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary Diversity
and Equalities policies in tackling social inequalities and
promoting social cohesion
Module 3 - Developing Excellence in Managing Diversity and
Equality.
This module seeks to build on the knowledge and experience
gained by students to identify best practice in managing
Diversity and Equalities. In a number of seminars led by experts
in fields such as health, education, and human resources,
students will explore the practice of their own organisations
and test it against best practice elsewhere.
Students should develop a critical awareness of the strength and
weaknesses of their own practice, and identify ways of improving
performance and enhancing inclusiveness in service provision.
Each module consists of three consecutive training days.
Dates of Modules:
Module 1 21, 22, 23 September 2010
