CPR (short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a first aid technique that can be used if someone is not breathing properly or if their heart has stopped. CPR is a skill that everyone can learn — you don’t need to be a health professional. If you know CPR, you might save the life of a family member or friend.

Bullying, discrimination, and sexual harassment can cause major harm to the wellbeing of individuals. It can have an impact on an individual’s health and happiness, affecting their ability to do their job. Breaches can incur heavy costs for organisations, including fines, loss of reputation and high levels of employee turnover. Diversity lends itself to many high-level goals, such as increased innovation, efficiency, and better results. Diversity and inclusion in the workplace will look at stereotypes, prejudice, and bias and how this shapes the way we feel, think and act. It will also cover methods and considerations to be aware of when creating an inclusive workspace and suggest what to do if someone is behaving inappropriately.
