Home Truths Quiz

The Home Truths quiz contains 12 multiple-choice questions, designed to build up your knowledge of Race Equality.

Start each e-learning session by answering at least one of these questions and reviewing the answer supplied. Select the questions at random, until your personal 'score card' is full.

You should aim to answer as many or as few Home Truths as you have time for in any one sitting, spending between 5 and 10 minutes on each one. You may need longer, depending on the number of live links you activate.

The different questions – and the answers supplied – will:

get you thinking about the case for Race Equality and why it is important to you and to the people you work with
introduce you to some of the challenges, particularly in Employment
explain the law and the meaning of some relevant terms
help you find out more
