Small and medium-sized businesses can access free diversity training in a series of new workshops and health checks.

Daring to do Diversity workshops are for organisations with 10 to 250 employees and aim to ensure employers understand diversity legislation and are able to use it to maximise the efficiency of their business.

Meanwhile those with fewer than 10 employees are eligible for one of 150 Diversity and Equality Health Checks.
