We have an optional module, Managing Diversity, that covers topics relevant to line managers.
We also have a video on unconscious bias, which is recommended for staff involved in decision making processes, including recruitment, promotion panels, and management committees.
Our online training, including the unconscious bias video, are available from our Blackboard course page.
