Course Profile

Addressing Unconscious Bias: Basic Awareness in the Workplace is an online course self-led course for all professionals working in the arts and creative sectors.  

This course in collaboration with Safe to Create, is designed to help you understand what unconscious bias is, how it might manifest itself at work and how to challenge your assumptions to promote greater diversity and inclusion.

Raising awareness of our unconscious biases helps reduce their impact, however it does not eliminate them. This course explores theory as well as strategies to help tackle its impact at work. Staying alert to our unconscious biases is an ongoing process that might involve refreshing or extending our awareness on a regular basis via continued development opportunities.

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Understand what unconscious biases are and why we have them
  • Understand how they are formed and when they are most likely to be triggered at work
  • Understand how our unconscious biases impact our decision making
  • Understand how our unconscious biases affect our behaviour
  • Understand the benefits that recognising and working to address our unconscious biases have for our work and our audiences
  • Recognise our own unconscious biases and triggers
  • Identify strategies for challenging our unconscious biases

At the end of the course, you will need to answer 10 questions to check your understanding.

Afterwards you can check out the additional resources section for more information.
