When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
Many equality initiatives are well meant but poorly evidenced. This module draws on Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev's finding that control tactics fail while engagement, contact and accountability work, tests the McKinsey business case and Scott Page's diversity theorem, and argues from mission, law and fairness instead. It covers lawful targets and positive action, charity boards, honest measurement, backlash research and the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service case. This capstone applies equality law, evidence, leadership and culture to three major UK cases: the Windrush Lessons Learned Review, Nazir Afzal's London Fire Brigade culture review, and Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Azeem Rafiq. Each is read through systems thinking, institutional racism, the Public Sector Equality Duty, inclusive leadership, data and accountability, drawing out four shared threads and testing your own judgement.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Distinguish the control tactics that Dobbin and Kalev found tend to fail from the engagement, contact and accountability approaches that work.
- Set out the legal difference between aspirations, targets, quotas and positive action, and make the case for EDI from mission, law, fairness and service quality.
- Plan honest measurement of representation, experience and outcomes, with named accountability and a grounded response to backlash.
- Analyse a case by asking what the system did, not only what people intended, avoiding both the few bad individuals mistake and the everyone is guilty mistake.
- Apply equality lenses, including institutional racism, the Public Sector Equality Duty, data and accountability, to the Windrush, London Fire Brigade and Yorkshire cricket cases.
- Judge what turns accepted recommendations into lasting change, including named owners, honest data, independent oversight and fair process for those accused.
