Workshop 1: Legislation and Unconscious Bias
Welcome to the first workshop of the Fife Equality and Diversity Professional Learning Course.
In this session we will focus first on core legislation relevant to equalities in the education context (the Equality Act 2010, and links to Public Sector Equality Duty / UNCRC). We will then explore and raise awareness of Unconscious Bias, and how it can impact the decision making. We will conclude with a discussion on practical approaches for tackling unconscious bias.
