Advanced employment law: Sex discrimination
ONLINE 9am-4pm
This half-day course is part of our expanding set of courses on discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. It looks at the protection against discrimination in relation to sexual orientation.
It covers how to interview a member sensitively; what constitutes legal harassment in this particular context including issues of 'outing' a worker and making false assumption; and where religious belief clashes with gay rights.
The course also provides reps with guidance on general issues which come up where harassment is based on any protected characteristic, not just sexual orientation, eg whether an employer is liable for out-of-work harassment and whether harassment is entirely self-defined under the legal definition.
A small amount of pre-course work will be expected to make the most of the time on the day.
The course will be delivered virtually over Microsoft Teams, 9am - 4pm on Tuesday 17 November.
To apply, you must:
- be ERA accredited and active in supporting and representing members;
- have previously completed Introduction to Employment Law or advanced employment law course;
- have agreed facility time (time off) from your employer to attend the full day, if attending during working hours;
- be able to participate fully in the session, which is highly interactive;
- be prepared to spend up to 1 hour at home before the training day on reading which we will send you in advance;
- have agreement from your branch to attend.
If your application is successful a charge of £75 will be made to your branch.
