Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What should HR do first in the grievance?

 

Menopause is not a protected characteristic on its own, but protection can come through disability, sex, age and harassment. Always assess the facts.

Lesson 1, Why the law matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which statement is correct?

 

Menopause is not listed as a protected characteristic. Protection comes through disability, sex or age, and harassment and victimisation can also apply.

Lesson 2, The Equality Act 2010 grounds, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

What should you ask when someone requests support?

 

Ask what is making work harder. Don't ask for a diagnosis.

Lesson 3, Reasonable adjustments and the EHRC guidance, teaches this. See the outline
