Knowing what, when and how to challenge can be difficult. Within your role you will, at times, be required to challenge others' behaviour because you think it is potentially discriminatory; there are some attitudes, language and behaviours that are unacceptable: e.g. racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, disablist, ageist. This course prepares you to have those courageous conversations.

In House Training

Our training programmes have been developed and refined since 1997. We believe our training is effective because it is

  • tailored for your specific requirements
  • challenges attitudes towards diversity and equality without being confrontational
  • broad in coverage
  • sector specific-: ensuring that components of the training, such as case studies and policy and procedural matters, are relevant to you
  • delivered by experienced facilitators

We will discuss and agree the precise content of the training programme (we offer pre-training questionnaires to all staff to help this process). All training is then genuinely tailored to your needs and circumstances, whether you want a single workshop or a full in-house programme. All our training is supported by high quality hand books. Pre-course activities are used to encourage delegates to consider the issues before the training and to ensure that the programme is tailored to specific needs.

All programmes have a set day/half day rate. If an organisation requires several days' training we will negotiate the cost of training. All our work is evaluated and changes made where necessary to ensure quality and relevance.

Click here to see our Policy on awarding training Certificates

EDUK delivers learning to initiate change in actions, behaviours and support, so we want delegates to share their actions going forward as well as acknowledging new learning, and a commitment to change. The completion of feedback is also for the benefit of the employer, who pays for the training, so they can see that learning has taken place and their investment in staff training has been worthwhile and will make a difference.

After the training, we ask delegates to record their learning and action points. These are read and assessed to allow us to measure leaning and, if we can evidence that learning has taken place, we issue a Certificate of Achievement.

Why do we do this? Because, in our experience, some people attend EDI training to tick a box and want to receive a Certificate for just turning up on the day. If people who are unwilling to give feedback receive the same Certificate that is awarded to others who have taken on board the learning and committed to change, then the Certificate becomes meaningless.

We are happy to provide a simple confirmation of attendance for people who don’t want to complete feedback.

Our Method - Tailored Bespoke Training

Training Methods

equality impact assessment trainingOur training methods 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.

Tailored, Bespoke Training

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.
