Planning a Speech
Introduction
A good speech needs a good structure. In your speech introduction you should:· Define your key terms (if needed)
· Give a general overview
· Provide a tentative conclusion, so your audience knows where the speech is going
Say something at the outset that will make them sit up and listen to you – because you are saying something interesting and you have an interesting way of saying it.
A good speech needs a good structure.Just like an essay, a speech needs a beginning, middle and end.
Your audience won’t be able to remember every single thing you say, but you need to make sure they remember your key message.
A useful way to do this is:
· Opening - tell them what you are going to tell them
· Main content - tell them
· Closing - tell them what you told them

Codes of Practice, Values and Standards in Public Services
Learn about stakeholders and codes of practice for public services. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
• They provide an explanation of the Equality Act and how it should be applied to everyday situations for employees, employers, and organisations
• They provide advice for those who need a technical and precise understanding of the law and its impact (particularly lawyers as the Codes are complicated)
• They assist those who need to understand and enforce the law (courts and tribunals)
• They assist those who need to apply the law while advising a client (lawyers and employers)
• They apply throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
A stakeholder is someone with an interest in a business, or in this case the Equality Act, and are usually people who are affected by the legislation.
The stakeholders that were involved in the Equality Act Codes of Practice post consultation report for the period of 2010 were:
• Stakeholders for each of the potential characteristics
• Stakeholders from each key sector (such as education, health)
• Legal experts (such as employment law, government, trade unions)
To discuss the initial drafts of an Equality Act, different groups of people are invited to meetings or consultations. This is where issues may be raised by the stakeholders.
Some of the issues from the 2010 period included:
• Use of language in the Employment Code, for example the term ‘employee’ as opposed to ‘worker’
• Audience and accessibility of the Codes
• For the examples used in the Codes, striking the right balance between reflecting discrimination in a realistic way and avoiding offensive stereotypes
The language and structure of the document may be altered or changed. However, complex issues may need more time to be answered in future publications.

Learn about the legislation surrounding the public sector and equality duty. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
All public services have to comply with the Equality Act 2010 and this states that they must also comply with the public sector equality duty. The equality duty ensures that public services think about how they deliver their services and how this will impact on those who are disadvantaged or within the protected characteristics group.
As with discrimination exceptions, there are situations where public services do not need to comply with these duties. These include the following areas:
Judicial Events – The courts do not need to think about the equality duty when making decisions or when and how they conduct the proceedings.
Age in education or children’s home – Schools do not need to think about how to develop good relationships between pupils of different ages. However they need to consider this between pupils of different religions.
Immigration - When involved in immigration proceedings, public services would not need to think about the advance equality of opportunity (treating one group more favourably than another because of their disadvantage) to those in the following protected groups:
- · Age
- · Religion
- · Race
You will learn
- Public sector equality duty exceptions
- Types of legislation under the equality duty
