Our one day course in diversity & equality awareness has been written by Bingley Consulting, experts in this field and is delivered in partnership with them.

This programme covers all of the key aspects of diversity and equality awareness and includes a wealth of examples and practical information delegates leave with a clear understanding of the relevance of legislation, policies and procedures in their own working lives.

We can include specific reference to individual clients’ policies and procedures and any particular issues that an organisation faces can be addressed. After these awareness raising sessions we very often run workshops in which we guide managers on how to conduct impact assessments and to review policies and procedures.
