The Equality Champion Programme has been designed to assist employers of all sizes within the voluntary sector. The aim is to assist each organisation to identify the appropriate type of training for employees with specific responsibilities relating to the promotion of equality. This training is part of a series of role specific equality modules relevant to staff at different levels within the organisation. Participants will be awarded a CPD Certificate acknowledging the relevant learning objectives.

Role Specific Seminars comprise a range of standalone modules relevant to staff at different levels within the organisation who will have specific equality related responsibilities. Two seminars are scheduled in spring but others can be scheduled based on demand.

The seminar is free to attend. To book please email: margaret.thompson@nicva.org.
