Homophobia in the workplace:

The Employment Regulations (Sexual Orientation) 2003 came into force on 1st December 2003. They make it illegal for employers to discriminate against lesbian, bisexual and gay staff. Has your organisation got robust policies and procedures in place to prevent such discrimination? What will you do if an employee makes a complaint?

Hidden disability:

Many people are living with long term illnesses that have impacts on their lives. From October 2004 the Disability Discrimination Act now applies to all employers and service providers. How do you support members of staff with disabilities that you can not see, that you don't realise are having an impact on their day to day working lives? What should you do and when?

Equality and Diversity - beyond the policy:

You have the Equal Opportunities Policy, it's displayed on walls throughout your building. How you take it from being a piece of paper with words on it, to a statement of belief that is enacted in all your organisation's actions, from dealings with customers, to employees and suppliers.

"That's so gay that is" - Tackling homophobia in schools and youth groups:

..a common comment by young people, meaning that something is rubbish, broken, not right. How do you respond to this? How do young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or questioning their sexuality respond to this? What impact does it have on their self esteem?
