Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Consultation for Network Organisations
At EDUK, we recognise that network organisations need to embed Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) into their culture and operations to foster collaboration and shared learning. We work with networks of organisations to ensure EDI becomes a guiding principle across the entire structure.
EDI Staff Training Programmes
Our training programmes are tailored to the specific needs of network organisations, helping diverse teams understand and promote EDI.
Our offerings include:
Unconscious Bias Training
This programme helps network members identify and mitigate biases in their decision-making processes, promoting fairness across all member organisations.
Anti-Racism Workshops
These workshops support networks in recognising and addressing racism within and across member organisations, helping to create anti-racist spaces throughout the network.
Inclusive Leadership
This training equips leaders within network organisations to integrate EDI into their strategic decision-making and operations, promoting a culture of inclusion.
Allyship and Advocacy Training
Designed to foster advocacy for underrepresented groups, this programme helps create a supportive environment for all members across the network.
Disability Inclusion Training
This training provides practical guidance on making network organisations more accessible for disabled employees and members, enhancing inclusivity.
Our Expertise
With years of experience working with network organisations, we take a collaborative approach to ensure that EDI becomes a shared priority. By fostering inclusivity and equality across all member organisations, we help networks create environments where everyone can thrive.
