Diversity and Equality Training Programmes

Grass Roots diversity and disability programmes are available as workbooks or as eLearning. They are quick to deploy, accessible to all employees and learning is easy to measure through simple testing. Their powerful content is written in conjunction with experts like Lord Herman Ouseley - the past Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality and Phil Friend, Chair of RADAR, the UK's largest disability campaigning organisation.

Respect For People – This looks at why we should value diversity, essential information about people's ‘protected characteristics' and cultural awareness, what constitutes discrimination, and the key adjustments we all need to make. It also describes the latest legal framework that the Equality Act 2010 introduced, illustrated with detailed examples and case studies.

As well as supporting many private companies' equality and diversity policies, the content has been developed to enable public sector organisations to satisfy the staff training requirements implicit in the new Equality Duty. It also satisfies the Equality Standard for local authorities and the recently simplified NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF).

Uniquely, we also have a 3,000 strong panel of people with ‘protected characteristics' such as disability and ethnicity, who assist us in research and client mystery shopping.

Clients using our diversity training services include the University of Westminster, Acas, Raytheon, UBM, GfK NOP, A4E, A2/Dominion Housing, Surrey and Oxfordshire County Councils.
