Training to a higher level

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

At HTP equality of opportunity is core to our working ethos. Staff receive regular training on all areas equality and diversity.

Staff training will not work unless it has a positive impact on the journey of the learner. HTP is committed to the outcomes detailed in the 2004 Children Act – ‘Every Child Matters’.

Every learner, no matter what their…

…will receive the support they need to:

Staff interact with learners and potential learners at every stage of their time with HTP and beyond, to identify likely barriers to learning and seek to remove those barriers.

Many of the principles of 'Every Child Matters' can equally be applied to staff, where they are followed in safeguarding staff and encouraging them to succeed.

In line with the national move, HTP has developed their Single Equality Strategy, this new phase of reaching out to local communities has received praise within the latest OfSted inspection (2008). For further information or to enquire about training that we are able to deliver to other providers in this area, please contact HTP direct or HTPHELP@aol.com.

To further develop the cycle of equality of opportunity HTP actively involves learners and staff in reviewing and assessing key policies and documents. An example is a Learner focus group reviewing the Learner Handbook and the Learner Application form.

If you need advice relating to Equal Opportunities you can email our EO Helpline htphelp@aol.com. It is confidential and free of charge.

HTP provides many services to our employers as well. Currently HTP provides the free and confidential helpline facility, not only in the area of EO but also support and guidance relating to good practice in employment.

HTP regularly supports employers by an annual ‘health check’ of equality, carried out at the same time as the mandatory health and safety check. This identifies what in the way of policies and procedures are already in place as well as to provide improvements that employers could make.

Further, HTP can provide training to businesses and employers in all areas of Equality and Diversity, including:

These training courses will be tailored to the needs of your business.

HTP can also undertake Access Audits and Access Statements for your business premises.
