Tackling Racism: Online

Despite many years of equal opportunities policies and procedures, racism remains a fundamental problem in our society.

The TUC has always prioritised tackling racism in the workplace. The Tackling Racism: Online course has been designed to provide an opportunity for further understanding of equality and diversity issues in relation to race. It aims to provide a positive networking and learning experience and an opportunity to contribute to developing unions' interaction with lay members within the union and workforce.

The course shows positive contributions of diverse racial groups; raises awareness of how trade unions are helping to root out racism in the workplace; helps union reps to turn policy into action and gives inspiration to help challenge and integrate equality principles into day-to-day activities.
