No, only for students that display racist behavior

 @9G85KTDagreed…1yr1Y

Thats common sense, people who dont commit crime dont need rehabilitation, people who dont discriminate dont need it

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

Yes, and all schools should require mandatory diversity training

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, and mandatory diversity training should be banned

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

Yes, and immediately terminate any staff member that displays racist behavior

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, only for teachers or faculty members that display racist behavior

 @9LNFVMDdisagreed…8mos8MO

Teachers should be taught diversity training as students from all forms of disabities and races will be in their education establishments

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required

 @9LNVDD4TUSCdisagreed…8mos8MO

Any role that involves responsibility for groups of people intrinsically involves dealing with diversity issues, that is inescapable. It follows therefore that it is reasonable to give people training on how to do their job.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, only private schools should be allowed to require mandatory training

 @B26KWF2 answered…2 days2D

Private schools should be abolished and it should be who is fitted best. Under capitalism minorities will have less chance. Everyone regardless off their race, gender, sexuality and religion shouldn't get denied judgement because off that factor.

 @9SRXS6Xanswered…4mos4MO

No, I have seen no evidence it achieves what it sets out to do and rules people through fear tactics

 @9SBTMJPanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, and include a mandate for social skills in the mandatory diversity training for teachers and faculty. Give them a diversity training every 2 weeks to discourage mass misunderstandings.

 @9S8X7P4Conservativeanswered…4mos4MO

No, diversity training does not promote unity. It creates division and highlights the differences between people rather than that which unites them. People should be judge on the content of their character and not the colour of their skin, religion, sex or sexuality.

 @9QVCZV6answered…6mos6MO

I think this wholly depends on what is meant by "diversity training" and what exactly is being taught in those training sessions.

 @9QPZTH3Animal Welfareanswered…6mos6MO

It depends. It’s good for kids to know everyone is different but don’t discriminate against good staff because they aren’t the type of diversity wanted

 @9QPRKMVfrom Tennessee  answered…6mos6MO

Depends on what is being taught. I think encouraging people to interact with diverse crowds is important, and I think it's important to celebrate our differences and teach kids about cultures outside of our own.

I find that a lot of diversity incentives only further division, however. I think that these types of programs should not actively condemn anyone of being racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise oppressive based off the actions of their historic ancestors (and it's okay to teach things like this in an academic sense).

We absolutely do not want to encourage kids to hate themselves because of what their ancestors did; nor do we want kids to feel as though they're somehow inferior because of what their ancestors suffered.

We should be lifting one another up, not looking for someone to demonize.

 @9QLTD8MLiberal Democratanswered…6mos6MO

No this should not be a school curriculum subject, instead, it should be something that we as a nation instill in other ways. Teachers need more resources to teach their core subjects. If however, the topic arises they should feel empowered to discuss freely without prejudice.

 @9QKCKWDanswered…6mos6MO

Define diversity training. Let's start with misogyny which is rife throughout schools and getting worse not better

 @9Q96QM2Reform UKanswered…6mos6MO

All teachers and faculty should treat everybody civilly and equally, whilst taking into consideration an individuals faith/belief. Training should not be needed.

 @9Q72V5Yanswered…6mos6MO

Yes but diversity also must include white and working class people in the conversation to provide more inclusiveness

 @9NYHDQTanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but encourage them to spend time in different community institutions to create more empathy and understanding, rather than 'diversity training'

 @9Q7BWRYanswered…6mos6MO

Schools shoukd discuss diversity issues with their staff but and we should also respect different opinions and not push one position over others.

 @9Q3CF47answered…6mos6MO

I think diversty training should be highly encouraged but not made mandatory and mustn't infringe upon rights of free speech

 @9PPXXW6from Virginia  answered…6mos6MO

I don't agree with schools always needing it, but I am not in a position to tell the school not to require it.

 @9PMSJMDLiberal Democratanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, teachers without diversity training run the risk of passing these habits on to the children they would be influencing

 @9PK59G6answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but this should be part of regular PGCE teacher training, specifically on how to account for background differences within student populations.

 @9P9NK6Tanswered…6mos6MO

Understanding and accepting diversity should be incorporated into society more generally with discussions and posible retraining if seen or experienced being predjuiced and preferably based on the area they have discriminated against. Eg if N word used spend time in the black community in different capacities.

 @9P2W3YFLiberal Democratanswered…6mos6MO

Threat the same as any other required training course, such as health & saftey, working at height, etc.

 @9NXDFPLanswered…7mos7MO

Yes but most of it is fairly ineffective so making it mandatory doesn't seem to necessarily be worthwhile.

 @9NWMHFManswered…7mos7MO

Yes as long as this is kept sensible and aims to promote rather than undermine inclusion and cohesion.

 @9NRSDRDReform UKanswered…7mos7MO

No, I think promoting cooperation among classmates regardless of any identity label should be promoted across all schools (private, public, primary, secondary, 6th form, college and universities) all education institutions

 @9NR23MZanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, all schools should require mandatory diversity training and immediately terminate any staff members that commit acts of discrimination with undeniable evidence

 @9NPCD8Tfrom Uttaradit  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but the content of the training should be regulated and adaptable to some extent for faith-based schools

 @9N7DJSFanswered…7mos7MO

No, because opinions about diversity change. Moreover some people are more clever at pretending to be tolerant than others.

 @9N38DG5Greenanswered…7mos7MO

Do not make the training mandatory however still fire members of staff or facility who commit acts of prejudice.

 @9N2WZJ4answered…7mos7MO

Yes, all staff should understand the diversity of the school and safeguard all staff and pupils, however no preferential treatment should be given based on diversity

 @9MW34TJanswered…7mos7MO

Yes but only if it adresses all types of discrimination, ie race, gender and disability, not just focusing on one

 @9MTDX7XUKIPanswered…7mos7MO

Diversity is more than gender and orientation. This is nonsense if the responses are angled to that issue only. Diversity must be taught to enable teachers and faculty to be more aware of many diverse issues and appropriate responses.

 @9MSDRCLanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, on the basis that the training is written following proper research and not just a corporate-style slideshow, and that schools also receive appropriate funding alongside such schemes

 @9MCYNVJanswered…8mos8MO

No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required but have to for teachers or faculty members that commit acts of prejudice

 @9DCWFC2answered…1yr1Y

No. Only training on cultural and religious awareness and how legal requirements impact on their role. Not gender pronouns training.

 @9LKD469answered…8mos8MO

Diversity training seems to be more about giving organisations cover than actually doing anything to promote diversity so I wouldn't make training mandatory as a tick-box exercise but instead look for a way to accredit schools which have made proper efforts to encourage diversity and inclusion

 @9JX9NB2answered…10mos10MO

Immigrants should first go through an assessment of how they will assimilate into the British Populaation

 @9JHYPPSanswered…11mos11MO

No, there is too much risk of mandatory diversity training suppressing freedom of thought and speech, as well as legitimate concerns.

 @9HPRZ3Xanswered…1yr1Y

Yes but the providers of training should be carefully monitored to ensure clear understanding of the Equality Act (including protection of sex characteristic)

 @9G5MCLJanswered…1yr1Y

Diversity training should be mandatory as to increase understanding and decrease confusion, and a psychological exam for all students, more education given to those who commit acts of discrimination, then extensive retraining and a full psychological evaluation and deep dive into the person and then expelled should they do it again after retraining

 @9FSHX9Yanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only diversity training with fundamental learnings that are widely agreed upon within medical, psychological, and diverse populations. Such training must be closely scrutinised and adhere to high standards of rigour.

 @9RWXBDNWomen's Equalityanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, and immediately terminate any staff members that commit acts of discrimination

Feminism and woke culture doesn't matter and is pointless social justice is a waste of time

 @99LKMQNLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

 @9D355DLanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only train them about disability, autism awareness and neurodiversity

 @9GBL4FLcommented…1yr1Y

Unless you purchase for a US-UK phone number, which is now not available (a recent adjustment on their side likely to reduce crowds).
