Are you confident that your published equality information and objectives meet the requirements of the new specific duties? What are the links between your equality information, objectives, and the three key inspection judgements of the 2012 Common Inspection Framework? Are your objectives outcome-focussed rather than output-focussed? Do you know what to do about gaps in your information? Are you aware of pitfalls to avoid?
What is this training about?
