Have you ever heard a comment at work that didn’t feel right?

Building an anti-racist workplace starts with choosing to see these patterns and learning how to challenge them. Our Race Aware training helps teams recognise harmful behaviours, understand lived experiences and address microaggressions before they take root. If you want a workplace where every voice is valued and equity isn’t just a word, our anti-racism courses are here to guide that journey.

Testimonials

Lisa Smith

Lisa Smith

We the Curious, People Manager

“Working with EDP over the last 12 months has been nothing short of transformative in terms of our approach to anti racism at We The Curious. From our first contact right through to delivery of the sessions, we worked together to make the programme fit our people and our needs, it never felt “off the shelf” or so corporate it lost its meaning. We opted for one Race Ahead course for our Senior Leaders which was where we saw a huge amount of change.”.”

Lisa Smith

Dr. Mark Williamson

Action for Happiness, CEO

“We had a fantastic Race Aware session with our team. I learnt a lot and feel much better placed – both personally and as a team – to appreciate differences, stand up against systemic injustice and have the courage to be a stronger anti-racist ally. Highly recommended.”

Lisa Smith

Zena Green

Airbus HR Manager

“Bianca and EDP Training have been an amazing external support to help us with our Mental Health work and initiatives, particularly our training objectives. We have been working with EDP Training since 2017 and have since trained hundreds of Mental Health First Aiders, giving the skills and knowledge to enable our staff to have preventative conversations and pick up poor mental health earlier. The courses have helped to reduce stigma and raise awareness amongst our specific demographic of male engineers. An excellent organisation with a compelling mission.”

The results were phenomenal and everybody has been engaged and implementing the ideas into recruitment, branding and the induction stages. We plan to roll out awareness courses to all employees from the EDP training team.”
