Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Certification Course for ALL LAWYERS

Wednesday 17th April + Thursday 18th April
9:30am - 4:30pm
Live online

Verifiable CPD: 20 hours

​

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) course for All Lawyers is designed to equip individuals at all levels within an organisation with the knowledge and tools needed to contribute to the creation of inclusive and diverse work environments. Change and progress within an organisation needn’t always come from the top down. It is crucial that we all play an active role in improving EDI in the workplace and beyond.

​

In collaboration with the Law Society of Scotland, our founder Naeema Yaqoob Sajid will lead this two-day training course, with contributions from industry experts and those with lived experience. The course will explore the fundamentals of EDI, moving beyond the definitions to understand the benefits of working in a diverse environment. We encourage our delegates to look inwards through understanding their own biases and privileges, and the effect this has on our own perspectives and actions, before taking a wider lens approach through understanding how we can each play our part in being a valued agent for change within your firm. 

​

This course is suitable to all in the Scottish Legal Sector.

9:30am - 4:30pm
Live online

Verifiable CPD: 20 hours

​

In collaboration with the Law Society of Scotland, our founder Naeema Sajid Yaqoob will lead this certified CPD course. It has been specifically created for those in management or leadership positions who are seeking to understand their own role in driving progress and meaningful action in the EDI field within their workplace. 


In today’s dynamic business landscape, understanding the principles of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a non-negotiable skill for both effective leadership and contributing to the ongoing success of your firm. An inclusive and diverse firm will have far-reaching benefits across all aspects of your business; diverse lawyers bring diverse opinions, diverse teams make better decisions, and a more diverse and inclusive legal sector drives innovation and creative solutions. 

​

Through practical discussions led by Naeema involving industry experts and those with lived experience, this course will provide you with the stepping stone you need to foster and promote a lasting culture of equality, diversity and inclusion to help you drive progress and help futureproof your firm.
