Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: putting it into practice
This tailored training session is perfect if your organisation:
- Wants to deliver training across an entire organisation or team
- Requires bespoke or in depth training that goes beyond the learning outcomes of our free sessions
- Is looking for training that is tailored to demonstrate best practice in your specific area of work
- Wants to increase staff and volunteer engagement with the training and create a safe space in which to ask questions
- Falls outside of the eligibility requirements for attending a free multi-agency training session
This training will enable participants to understand the meaning and purpose of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and make practical changes in your organisation to achieve better delivery of services. The focus is on beneficiaries and service delivery, but also touches on trustee and staff diversity.
Learning outcomes: Through a combination of activities and discussion participants will:
- Reflect on your organisation's values, policies and practices
- Refresh on the legislation, protected characteristics and intersectionality that underpin EDI work
- Explore inequalities, biases, privilege and power
- Develop skills to find and interpret demographic data
- Identify and prioritise actions to foster a culture of inclusion
Who for: The session is perfect for staff, volunteers and trustees who are already committed to embedding EDI into their organisation, and is suitable for those with or without significant experience of identifying EDI priorities and action-planning. It covers the broad concept of EDI rather than specific issues around protected characteristics - if you are seeking training on specific protected characteristics, then we can recommend a local organisation that can help.

Quality assurance: Connected Voice continually strives to improve EDI across the organisation. We are an Investors in People accredited workplace and our services have received national quality awards such as the Advocacy Quality Performance Mark. This course brings our first hand knowledge and experience of what it means to successfully embed EDI in an organisation.
This session is delivered by members of Connected Voice's Support and Development team.
The EDI training from Connected Voice was interesting, practically focused, and thought provoking. Sara provided a safe and comfortable space for us to share our learning and experiences, the content was excellent, tailored to our needs, and well delivered. We have learnt a great deal and will be embedding that learning into our policies and practices. I would highly recommend!
