Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Essentials for all Staff module

To help our knowledge, understanding and skills in this important area, the School expects all staff to complete this module. It can be found on the Astute Learning Platform

You will find the course named: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Essentials for all Staff. To access the course, you will need to self-enrol in the EDI all staff learning pathway first and you will find the course within this. 

All new starters should complete this module within 3 months of starting at LSE.

The course has two components. A 60 minute module called Inclusion Essentials and a 15 minute module called Bullying and Harrassment Effective Interventions. 

You must complete both units in order to gain your completion certificate. 

What the module covers

  • the main principles of equality and diversity and legislation;

  • how equality and diversity impacts on us all

  • actions we can take to embed inclusion in our work

The overall course should take about 75 minutes and you are able to leave the module and then return to the same point, so it is not necessary to complete it all at one time.

There is an assessment at the end of the module which allows users to assess their knowledge.
