Overview

Developing your employee’s skills and knowledge is essential for the success of your organisation. Too often invisible barriers prevent particular groups from accessing training. In order to embed equality and diversity within your organisation, it is vital to understand accessibility issues and the impact of the training across gender, age, ethnicity, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation. 

As an employer it is your responsibility to ensure that training provisions are available to all employees and that no one such group is being discriminated against.  

A training strategy will ensure that the training delivers what it says and that it supports your employees to reach their full potential, which means that no one is excluded on the grounds of their age or as a result of a religious holiday. It is also a legal requirement to provide reasonable adjustments for disabled employees.
