Online training and resources

To help our knowledge, understanding and skills in this important area, the School has developed its own Equality and diversity online module.

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

What the module covers

• the main principles of equality and diversity and legislation;

• how equality and diversity impacts on us all

• outlines the key resources and policies

The course should take about 30 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.
