Making a Difference

“COPE for Equality Ltd provided a series of innovative and highly effective Equality and Diversity Training programmes for our UK based employees.  The training was specifically tailored to our needs and focused on increasing awareness and encouraging individuals to think about the impact of their behaviour and communications.  The training consisted of highly interactive, thought-provoking discussions about a range of difficult and, often, emotive subjects.  The feedback was overwhelmingly positive confirming that the training was both relevant and beneficial.  We would recommend COPE for Equality Ltd for their highly professional, flexible and effective service.”  

Caroline Martin, HR Manager, NetSuite Inc.

 

“The training provided across the whole organization was well received from our craft workers through to the Board and challenged many stereotypes about E&D issues. The most pleasing result though has been the lasting effect that has been made and the ongoing work that the training prompted.”

John Whitelock, Assistant Director

Supported Housing, Saffron Housing Trust

 

“An extremely informative day, presented in a manner that was easy to understand and detailed at the same time.”

Melissa Sincock, Hobbs Ltd 

 

“Very enjoyable, not too long and easy to take in.”

Angela Bunt, RNIB

 

“I thought the course was very useful in getting people to question their assumptions and raise awareness of differences, great for getting people thinking about the subject from a different perspective.  It has certainly generated a desire to tackle the subject and get below the surface of the issues.  What is clear we need to be better informed, and this is just the start of the work we need to do.”

SS, HR Business Manager

Automobile Association

 

“Very interactive day, covering a lot of ground.”

Roz Howat, IPC Media Ltd

 

“Excellent, lots of useful information to use as part of my work.”

Mark Pederson, Training & Development Manager, DSL

 

“My knowledge and understanding has increased.  I found the panel session really informative and it was interesting listening to the people concerned instead of ‘others’ who think they ‘know’ what these groups want.  I am now more aware of how to avoid discrimination in recruitment and interviewing and will practice what I have learnt.”

CB, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council

 

“I enjoyed the course, it was very interesting hearing the experiences of the panel. The quiz was very good and really made me think about my perceptions; I will use this in meetings with my team as a thought provoking tool on diversity.  It is a useful course for colleagues involved in recruitment and policy making as it shows how diversity and equality need to be the basis of all we do - policies growing from that foundation.”

SP, Housing Management Team Leader

Bromford Housing Group

 

“I enjoyed the course and feel that the interview with the Black Minority Ethnic Group was particularly useful for networking and learning from their real life experiences.”
