Changes to mandatory training refresher periods – equality and diversity

January 23, 2019

In order to align with national NHS statutory and mandatory training guidelines, there are some upcoming changes to mandatory training refresher periods.

Equality and diversity training:

There is now a requirement to complete this training every three years with effect from the 31 March. For those who completed it more than three years ago, their records will go out of date after 31 March. Please ensure that you/your team are aware of this change and that this training is completed prior to 31 March with sufficient time for records to be updated. If you have undertaken it within the last three years, your date for next completion will be three years from when you last did the training.

Note: Equality and diversity training can be completed via e-learning and should only take around 20 minutes. 

For more information, please follow the instructions that can be found here.
