Build Awareness, Inspire Action, and Create a Truly Inclusive Workplace
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion...
How does this course help your business?
If you’re looking for a more advanced Equity Diversity and Inclusion training that can be delivered face to face, virtually or as a digital course and inspires reflection, builds understanding, is highly interactive, tailored to your business, and empowers employees and managers to act, then this is the course for you.
Because we use experiential drama-based methods to deliver it, learners will remember it long after ted Learning has left the room!
This session is about bringing to life the lived experiences and case studies of others so that we can be more understanding of those different to ourselves and challenge our own behaviours and approaches.
We will not try to change beliefs or opinions over the session, (after all, people are entitled to these), but we provide a clear understanding of how we create inclusive work environments through our behaviours.
In many organisations, Equity Diversity and Inclusion training has become little more than an annual compliance task. It’s written into policy, but often delivered as a dry, forgettable experience. It is heavy on legal terminology,filled with unrelatable information and light on anything truly relevant.

What does it cover?
Equity Diversity and Inclusion Course: Build Awareness, Skills and Confidence
Our Equity Diversity and Inclusion – EDI course empowers employees at every level to explore the practical realities of inclusion and the role they play in shaping workplace culture. It’s not about ticking boxes—it’s about building awareness, confidence and the capability to act.
Through an engaging mix of observational drama, hot-seating and interactive exercises, learners examine the lived experiences of others, bringing to life the nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act. We also consider how discrimination, bias and microaggressions play out in real-life scenarios. These drama-based methods give participants the chance to step into others’ shoes, reflect on lived experiences, and challenge their own assumptions.
How do we do it?
This Equity Diversity and Inclusion course is delivered with a mix of facilitated discussion delivered by our expert trainer, reflective observation, and lived experience stories. Learners at all levels gain a clearer understanding of their responsibilities in creating a truly inclusive culture and how they can actively support an inclusive culture in their teams.
The course examines the different forms of discrimination through the lived experience stories, how unconscious bias can manifest in everyday interactions, and the broader impact that exclusion and inequity can have on individuals, team dynamics, and organisational performance.
We provide a safe & supportive environment for learners to ask questions, explore assumptions, and reflect honestly on their own behaviours and beliefs.
More than just a compliance exercise, this Equity, Diversity and Inclusion course is an engaging, thought-provoking experience that empowers your people to lead by example. We also incorporate real people telling their stories through video based content.
This course will help you build a workplace where equity, diversity and inclusion are not only understood but truly lived by all employees and managers.
Learning Outcomes.
Our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion course is for employees and managers of all levels, and takes a deeper dive into the 9 protected characteristics,
exploring different lived experiences to raise awareness of the impact of discrimination.
Using our unique drama scenes, we work through subtle examples of prejudice and micro-aggression, and focus on how we can take a more pro-active approach and be actively anti-discriminatory.
By the end of the session, employees
will be able to:
- Identify how others lived experiences, perhaps different from their own, can impact perceptions, views and behaviours.
- Identify the impact of their own behaviours on others.
- Develop their self-awareness to become more consciously inclusive.
Explain the steps they can take to support an inclusive environment at work.
WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?
This Equity Diversity and Inclusion training goes further than legal frameworks. It encourages employees and managers to think critically, engage respectfully, and act with intention. By the end of the session, participants will have a clearer understanding of inclusive behaviour, the impact of their everyday actions, and practical strategies for supporting equity in the workplace.
Instead of relying on static slides or generic workshops, this course delivers experiential learning that drives change, from personal mindset shifts to team-wide behavioural impact. It also ensures those in a people management role have complete clarity on how to handle disclosures or what to do if they themselves observe behaviours that aren’t aligned with your organisations values and the law.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and think its very important for everyone to take part in. Reason I say this is because I found it eye opening to see the sort of discrimination some people face and feel like it gave a very important message and also gave a better understanding as to how we should all be more mindful and inclusive of one another.
