Included in this course:
• The difference between equality and diversity
• What is meant by the 'protected characteristics'
• The benefits of promoting diversity in your volunteer team
• Overcoming barriers and stereotypes;
• How we can support youWho should attend
Anyone who has, or is expecting to have, responsibility for recruiting or managing volunteers in their organisation. Your organisation should be providing a service in Fife.
In order to offer places to as many organisations as possible, we are only able to offer two places on each date to members of the same organisation. If your organisation would like to send more than 2 people, please get in touch with us to discuss options.
