I really enjoyed the equality and diversity training, found it really interesting and informative and loved the breakout group sessions, as got to work with people I normally wouldn’t spend that much time with.

I found the whole afternoon very enlightening. It explained the current legislation regarding the rights of the individual and what is acceptable behaviour on both sides. The course was very well structured and run and on the whole a very worthwhile afternoon. Thank you.
