FIR: Our new home
You may have noticed that the Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) programme has a new home on our website!
As a standalone ‘topic’ this means you can navigate between FIR pages more easily. You can now also choose to receive bespoke marketing communications on FIR.
To check if your company has selected to receive FIR communications (and gain access to the new FIR assessment):
- Visit your company dashboard and click “view company profile”
- Select “edit profile”
- Tick FIR under “please select 1 or more topics your organisation is interested in”
FIR Assessment
The FIR Assessment offers your organisation a structured way to develop and embed Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in the workplace.
This approach, which is available to School “Admin” users, allows employers to support their workers and grow their business whilst incorporating FIR principles. Benchmark your knowledge to understand your best practice and areas for improvement.
