Courageous Conversations about Race
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.

Anti-Racism Training
During this in-depth training you will learn how to be a better ally and be able to understand, identify, confidently talk about and intervene to address racism and its link to white privilege and its consequences in your workplace, social circles, and relationships.
You will be better equipped to confront injustices and to have difficult conversations which is often hard to do, and empowered to be part of the change you want to see in the world.

Micro Aggressions Training
Micro-aggressions are an example of subtle, indirect discrimination against marginalised groups; small acts of prejudice which expose the speaker’s biases and can have negative repercussions on the lives of the recipients.
Delegates learn about the impact of micro-aggressions on interactions with others and increase awareness to manage and reduce them.

NetworkIn 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.

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.
