Why Allyship & Advocacy training matters in Wales
Welsh equality action plans on race and LGBTQ+ inclusion both make clear that everyone has a role in creating change, not only people from under-represented groups. Effective allies help staff networks thrive and make inclusion a shared responsibility across Welsh workplaces.
- Supports staff networks and equality action plans
- Makes inclusion everyone's responsibility
- Turns good intentions into consistent action
Who it's for
All staff, staff network members and managers. It's suitable for local authorities, NHS Wales organisations, schools, colleges, universities, housing associations, charities and private-sector employers.
How it's delivered
Sessions are interactive and discussion-based, using realistic workplace scenarios rather than lectures. We create a respectful space where people can ask questions honestly. For in-house groups, we adapt examples, length and emphasis to reflect your sector, policies and priorities.
