Synopsis

In the UK, post-Stephen Lawrence, the revised Race Relations Act (2000) and post-9/11 all organisations have had to become much more aware of diversity issues and the need to understand and, if necessary, change underlying attitudes.This timely new book, from one of the authors of the highly successful Equal Opportunities Handbook, provides a practical and sensible approach to dealing with this sensitive issue. Providing clear guidelines, the book provides advice for dealing with issues including stereotyping, prejudice, racism, sexism, homophobia, disability etc. With information on designing diversity training and advice on appropriate techniques to help bring about attitudinal change the book offers proven practical advice. New material and case studies on how to implement a Race Equality Impact Assessment, legal updates and key learning points for each chapter make this essential reading for organisations and individuals.
