particular areas of knowledge and expertise, and who are all familiar with our
standards and practices.

training on a project by project basis. As part of our own commitment to
equality of opportunity, we ensure that our Consultants come from a diverse
range of backgrounds with a broad range of experiences. In particular, we seek
to identify, mentor and develop consultants from under-represented groups.

The Equality and Diversity Network brings together practitioners
from various sectors who are working in the public, private and voluntary and
community sectors and those working with diverse groups of people from different
backgrounds, religions, faiths and cultures. The Network was established to provide a
forum where practitioners can share good practice and discuss and respond to
equality and diversity issues, legislation and regulations.
Our knowledge and experience of equality and diversity
in these sectors is unrivalled and our aim is to pass this on to your managers
and staff in the most effective way possible.
That means offering a variety of customised training programmes and consultancy
services and being able to adapt to the teaching and learning objectives and
environment specific to your organisation. Whether you are looking for half a
day’s training for a small group of staff, volunteers or senior managers or need
to cover the whole workforce over a series of days, we can help. To find out

Equality and diversity training. Equal opportunities training
We offer equality and diversity training to
support organisations, public, private, and others to promote equal
opportunities, good race relations and to eliminate unlawful
discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, colour,
disability, age, gender, sexuality, religion or age
“
Providing equality of opportunity is not an option, it is the
law. Changing the culture of the organisation, attitudes of staff and others is a difficult challenge.
If we are honest, getting managers,
staff and others updated with all the legislation and keeping them there can be a real headache for any organisation
”
Race equality training, Social inclusion training
Delivering race equality training and promoting social inclusion is one of the main challenges for all businesses, learning providers and employers, and is a key part of the Government's wider agenda to build a strong civil society. We
are able to offer specific training on the Race Relation (Amendment)
Act, Code of Practice and Impact Assessments.
Disability discrimination
training and Inclusive Learning
We provide disability discrimination training, advice
and guidance on equal opportunities and race equality issues and we help
organisations to write and review more effective equality and diversity
policies, action plans and schemes. We can help your organisation
to ensure that your services are equitable and accessible to all, and
relevant to a diverse range of people. If you require help with
developing the new Disability Equality Duty we can help you by providing
both training and support to write the scheme.
If you are an organisation looking to improve your
image, extend your workforce to make it more diverse then contact us and
we will provide you with a free initial assessment of your organisation's

TRAINING
The training has been Developed and refined since 1997. Our training is effective because it is:
Participative: using activities such as, formal delivery, participants activities, shared knowledge, case studies, videos, role plays and small group work to ensure involvement and interest.
Lively, enjoyable and non-threatening: challenging attitudes towards diversity and equality without being confrontational, so that participants question their own beliefs, assumptions and behaviour.
Behaviourally based: concentrating on behaviours which are required by your organisation's policy, by high standards of business conduct and by the law.
Broad in coverage: covering legislation, diversity and 'difference' in its broadest sense, and gender, ethnicity, disability and other specific areas in your policy, in employment and service delivery.
Customer focused: ensuring that components of the training, such as case studies and policy and procedural matters, are relevant to you.
Delivered by experts: our consultancy team offers you not just subject expertise, but senior management experience, so we understand management issues and are authoritative and credible.
We will discuss, listen and agree with you the precise content of the training you require. It will be genuinely tailored to your needs and circumstances, whether you want a single workshop or a major training programme.
All our training is supported by high quality documentation. Pre-course work is available to encourage participants to consider the issues before the training and to maximise the benefits of the time spent at the workshops.
In the course of our work we have encountered all types of audience, a range of emotions and reaction - from enthusiasm to scepticism, indifference and, on occasion, outright hostility. We are used to managing all these situations and turning them to constructive action.
Cost:
All programmes are tailor-made and individually costed. You are entitled to a free consultation to assess your needs and to enable us to tailor make your programme. If an organisation requires training that is in excess of 5 consecutive days we will negotiate the cost of training.
All our work is evaluated and changes made where necessary to ensure quality.
