This Equality and Diversity in Health and Social Care training course is designed for anyone who provides care to patients and service users in a health or social care setting. The course has been designed as an introductory level and so no prerequisite training is needed.
If you work outside of a health and social care setting, then our non-industry-specific Equality and Diversity Training Course might be more suitable for your needs.
On successful completion of the course you will be sent a quality assured certificate through the post the next working
day. This can be used to provide evidence for compliance and audit.
All of our courses are accredited by the CPD Certification Service as conforming
to universally accepted Continuing Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.
This certificate does not have an expiry date. However, based on industry best practice guidelines, the recommended renewal period for this training is 3 years. We will print this recommended renewal date on your certificate.
