Inclusion Learning

We are committed to creating a culture of inclusion, where diversity is recognised, understood, and valued. By providing diversity and inclusion learning and communication programmes, we hope to engage with students and staff on realising the benefits that diversity and inclusion brings.

It is important for learners to refresh their inclusion training and knowledge every few years, as legislation, terminology, and best practice progress regularly. Which is why we have made available inclusion training courses that will be relevant and engaging for all staff, and which will support continuous learning and discussion on these important issues.

 

Our core inclusion training programmes are:

Warwick Principles and Social Inclusion

This e-learning course communicates your rights and responsibilities as a member of staff at Warwick and how we can create a working and learning environment where everyone feels welcome and safe to be themselves, everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and there is equal opportunity for everyone to reach their full potential. The course will take 45-60 minutes to complete.

GoodCourse - Microaggressions

This email course is developed by GoodCourse – experts in engaging inclusion training, which is relatable and not overly technical. Staff will receive bite-sized modules throughout the year, so that learning is continuous, not a one off. The four modules cover EDI fundamentals, harassment prevention, conscious inclusion, and micro-aggressions. Each module will taking less than 10 minutes to complete.

Advance HE - Introduction to ED&I

This e-learning course created by experts at Advance HE uses true stories from students and staff. The two modules cover 'the basics' (what is discrimination, unacceptable behaviours) and 'beyond the law' (taking action, being an ally). A Personal Learning Journal will help you further reflect on information presented. Each module will take 25-45 minutes to complete.

This university-funded programme, launched in 2020, is aimed at equipping academic and professional services staff with the knowledge and practical tools to engage with anti-racist practices and pedagogy within and outside the classroom, and to challenge racial inequality at the University of Warwick at both individual and institutional levels.

Unconscious bias

There are two courses you can take on this topic:

These courses take a look at the nature of bias and how it impacts on the workplace, providing insight into how our behaviour might be affected by prejudice and looking at what we can do to reduce or eliminate the influence of bias in the decisions we make.

Say My Name

We all want to feel valued and respected at work, you might not have known that simply taking the time to pronounce others’ names properly, can really help to create an inclusive community - one where we all feel like we belong. In this short course, we explore why our names matter to us, some tips and techniques to help when encountering unfamiliar names, and look at the importance of getting names and pronouns right.

Queering University

The Queering University programme offers training, events, and a digital library of resources relating to queer and LGBTQUIA+ inclusive practices. The programme covers a broad range of topics, from best practice demographic data collection to LGBTQUIA+ inclusive teaching & learning.

Digital Accessibility at Warwick
