Faith, Culture & Anti-Racism: Pilot Session Online Booking Form
21st November 2025
16th December 2025
6.00 pm to 7.00 pm
This is a pilot session for our new Faith, Culture and Anti-Racism course that is being launched in 2026
Across the UK, ethnically diverse communities continue to experience systemic racism, religious discrimination, cultural misunderstanding, and unequal access to services. Public sector workers are required to deliver fair, safe and inclusive services yet many do not receive specialist training in:
- Cultural competence and humility
- Anti-racist practice
- Intersectionality and lived experience
- Challenging bias and discrimination
This workshop responds to these gaps, supporting better conversations, safer decision-making and more equitable outcomes.
Course Aims
This course aims to To enhance knowledge, confidence, and culturally competent practice by:
- Building an accurate understanding of faith, culture, ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship.
- Exploring how racism and structural inequality impact individuals, families, and communities.
- Strengthening inclusive communication, respectful engagement, and anti-racist behaviours across public services.
This course is available as an In-House Course and will also run regularly as an Open Course

This course prepares you to have those courageous conversations.
