Course Overview
This qualification is designed to enable leaders to develop an in-depth understanding of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) at a strategic level. Leaders will have the opportunity to critically assess structural inequality within both organisational and societal contexts. They will discuss approaches to comply with legal and good practice requirements and appraise the influence of EDI on strategic objectives. The unit culminates in leaders being given the opportunity to develop strategic priorities for EDI. Roles and responsibilities may also include, but are not limited to, taking responsibility for people, projects, operations, and/or services to deliver organisational success. Leaders will have the professionalism to deliver impact, behave ethically, and demonstrate a commitment to continual learning and development.
This Level 7 leadership development programme is delivered by facilitators with a wealth of strategic-level organisational experience, including involvement with developing EDI agendas.
