Modules include Equality and Diversity, Unconscious bias, Sexual Harassment and Data Protection. Each course takes under an hour, and you can start and complete any of them in your own time. You will also receive a certificate for each one you complete. All courses are available now.

If you don’t know your membership number please contact membership@party.coop You will also be aware that all officers or representatives who use the Party’s data (e.g. accessing membership lists or contacting members) must ensure that they are familiar with data protection requirements and our policies and processes for keeping data secure. As well as our Data Protection Guidance, you can also sign-up for online training on the new platform that gives more detailed information on GDPR should you require it.
