Equality and Diversity

Equality and Diversity (VTQ) provides learners with a clear understanding of equality legislation, inclusion principles and workplace responsibilities.

In the UK, equality, diversity and human rights are core societal values. Legislation requires public authorities and organisations to promote equality and eliminate discrimination in areas such as disability, gender and race.

This course covers:

• The meaning of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
• Protected characteristics under UK legislation
• The importance of inclusion in the workplace
• Legal duties and responsibilities
• Promoting equal opportunities
• Recognising and preventing discrimination

Understanding these principles helps organisations create fairer workplaces and ensures compliance with legal requirements.

This qualification, along with most other ProTrainings qualifications, is endorsed by TQUK, demonstrating commitment to compliance and quality assurance.

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings online courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from First Aid 4 Less, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.
5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.
6. Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material, is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the FirstAid4Less website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use. Technical queries or questions regarding the training or content are handled by ProTrainings – call 01206 807587 or email support@protrainings.uk
7. All learners have ongoing access to training materials after completion of the course for several months, with the option of weekly training emails delivered straight to your inbox to keep your knowledge up to date and demonstrate ongoing learning.
