HEE is inviting trainees and trainers to join a series of Equality Diversity and Inclusion workshops. Interested delegates may attend any or all sessions. For more information or to book, please see Maxcourse. The workshops are designed to help build understanding of the various topics connected to Diversity & Inclusion; they go back to basics and make no assumptions about what people may or may not know. There are elements of audience participation, some sessions more than others, and colleagues can use whatever function they feel happiest, be that unmuting and speaking or popping things into the chat box. The most important element of these sessions are that they are safe spaces for you to learn and discuss. There is no such thing as a silly question!

Error when booking?
