This 1 day course is designed for those with little or no experience of HIA who would like to do an HIA or commission others to do an HIA. After attending the 1 day course participants should have a reasonable idea of when an HIA should be called for and how it could help their organisation.

The 3 day course will cover the HIA process in more depth using a series of exercises based on real life examples.  After completing the course participants should be able to undertake a simple HIA or work on a complex HIA as part of a team.
