Working with Diversity

Date/Location: A date and location for this course is currently being planned. If you would like to be added to the waiting list and informed of relevant location and date, please email enquiries@therightroute.co.uk.

This one day workshop centres on 'Working with Diverse Groups'. It is now widely acknowledged that valuing diversity better enables organisations to meet their full business and social potential. However, we know that taking equal opportunities from paper policies to practical reality can be a challenging task. Our training courses and workshops encourage participants to consider the implications of power inequalities and the effects on individuals, to actively challenge racism and all discriminatory treatment and to create an environment where diversity is valued. Our personal development programmes empower participants to fulfil their potential and become more effective with less stress.

Who Should Attend

All practitioners in health, social care, probation, housing, statutory, voluntary, police, drugs, alcohol and mental health settings. This workshop would be especially useful to senior management and policy developers.
