Diversity and Inclusion Manual for UCPM training and course staff

The UCPM Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Handbook and the D&I Manual for Training and Course Staff are designed as a complementary document set. Together, they ensure that D&I is understood, applied, observed, and reinforced consistently across all UCPM deployable training courses. They serve different but interdependent functions: the Handbook sets out the D&I cross cutting competence requirements, while the Manual translates those requirements into practical guidance for day-to-day delivery and staff practice.

The manual is written for everyone involved in delivering UCPM deployable training courses. It is primarily aimed at training staff who set the D&I tone in both online and face to face training course delivery. They also manage group dynamics, model inclusive behaviours, provide feedback, and intervene when necessary. It is also relevant to course staff who support the learning process, including role players, and support personnel. Their actions, communication, and decisions can either strengthen or undermine psychological safety and inclusion when delivering a training course.
