Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Training Reviews

I would prefer a course showing example in COWI where actions were taken to treat the above. the course is too basic

Far too long. Somewhat condescending in tone, e.g. people are like a round of drinks

I object to being told what my ideal workplace should be. In doing so, you are making general assumptions rather than looking at each situation - exactly what the course tells us not to do.

The content was useful but could be covered in half the time.

A few less enforced breaks might have shortened it so that I didn't fade away before the end. Equity – so the best of us have to carry the rest of us.

Online training courses of this nature are significantly more challenging for people with ADHD - which, given the subject matter, is a little ironic. A classroom environment with a lecturer in front of them is better because there are fewer distractions. However, if you must use online learning, TES has some good advice that should be shared with managers of ADHD staff to be able to support them to complete this here: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/making-online-classes-work-students-adhd

I understand why this is important training, however its presentation and vein attempt to quickly educate people on how to self reflect using basic CBT techniques left me feeling a little patronised. In contrast to my last statement, it is true that the majority of people lack this ability so a straight education piece would have been better rather than trying to effect cognitive behaviour. I conduct myself in the manner outlined naturally and felt that the tone of the session was aimed at people who do not. In short it could have been balanced better, I felt that it was telling me to change rather than educating me objectively on areas that I may not be ware of in terms of legislation etc. The whole training could have been delivered with one slide - "Don't be horrible, think before you speak and act, and treat people in a manner that you would like to be treated". However, if you are an idiot and behave like a moron then I guess it was an eye opener to some.

whilst i appreciate the subject found course too long and in quite a few instances not relevant to my position or type of work.
