Inclusion Learning

Our learning courses and materials are designed to be relevant and engaging for all staff and students to support continuous learning and discussion on inclusion.

We are developing a culture of inclusion, where diversity is recognised, understood, and valued.

It is important for learners to refresh their inclusion training and knowledge every few years, as legislation, terminology, and best practice progress regularly.

Find inclusion training and resources below.

Core inclusion learning

All staff should complete our core inclusion learning programme - Warwick Principles and Social Inclusion.

This programme is designed to support all University of Warwick staff. It is about our fundamental commitment to creating a dynamic, vibrant working and learning environment where all members of our community can flourish.

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.

It takes 45-60 minutes to complete.

Names

We all want to feel valued and respected, you might not have known that simply taking the time to pronounce others’ names properly can really help to create an inclusive community. In this 'Say My Name' 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.
