I would recommend this course to any organisation who needs to train their entire workforce in a cost-effective way.

Delivering culturally responsive care to diverse communities
To help our NHS clients deliver culturally responsive care to diverse communities, we have developed a series of new interventions and blended learning tools to help create a fair and inclusive NHS and also help deliver on issues raised by the recent Boorman report.
They include
Equality Essentials - making sense of equality in practice
This interactive and engaging learning tool is designed to demystify and simplify equality issues. It provides staff and managers with a practical introduction to the key principles to help promote equality in your workplace.
Our complementary series of diversity learning modules include Age, Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Religion & Belief, Challenging Behaviour and Disability Confident
Equality Impact Assessment
Our e-learning and face to face interventions demonstrate the clear business benefits of effective and compliant EIAs. By the end of the training, participants understand what an EIA is and how to do it; the key policy and legal drivers; the importance of stakeholder engagement and how to achieve this; and the benefits of the EIA process.
Unconscious Bias
Getting to grips with the concept of unconscious bias is an important and critical step in creating fair and inclusive workplaces. But to do this, we need to create a climate in which issues of bias can be discussed openly, calmly and rationally.
Showing a willingness to examine our own personal biases is integral to understanding the roots of stereotypes and prejudice in the workplace.
Our new programme, developed in association with Professor Binna Kandola, examines how and why people are biased and the impact this has on relationships, decisions and organisations in general. It’s designed to
- Raise awareness of bias in people and organisations
- Examine the impact of bias in decision making
- Demonstrate ways in which we can reduce, if not eliminate, bias in our decision making.
