Bespoke Packages

Embracing diversity, promoting equity and providing inclusive spaces is important within every workplace. However, no two sectors or businesses are the same and the application of these principles will look different in every industry. For this reason, we offer bespoke training packages for business and organisations wishing to train large groups and teams (approximately 6-30 people).

Investing in the training academy will enable your staff to:

  • Confidently understand and respond to their responsibilities under UK legislation e.g. Equality Act 2010
  • Understand the inequalities and barriers experienced by LGBT people within your industry
  • Identify areas for collaboration, development and inclusion within the workplace, including around policies and recruitment
