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.
Read More
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.
Read More
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.

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.

Our 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.
