EDI training

Supporting companies to create inclusive, diverse and equitable workplaces through expert education and actionable strategies

Equality and diversity training

Sarah introducing the EDI workshop

Award-winning creative company Art with Heart has been running training that centres equality, identity and accessibility since 2016. Our bespoke training focuses on areas of need within your organisation to build an inclusive workplace.

Our previous clients include councils, theatres, universities, schools and community centres. An employer is often directly liable for acts of discrimination undertaken by their employees during their work and associated social events.

To reduce or avoid liability, employers must give regular equality and diversity training. Our training is delivered by people with lived experience, designed to bring your whole team together, from freelancers through to CEOs. By the end of our training, staff will feel more confident, capable and ready to make positive changes in both the workplace and their own lives.

‘Art with Heart provides an invaluable toolkit for championing respect for all people. The workshop is practical, open, and non-judgmental. I think everyone, everywhere, should have the chance to do this.’

Dr Jenna Clake, Teesside University

Fun and fact filled! It was easy to understand and delivered with enthusiasm and energy which made it engaging.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore and refresh thinking around equality, equity, and identity. The workshop allows you to develop and deepen understanding around best practice, creating inclusive language and space for people of all identities.

Teacher, Crowcroft Park Primary Schoo

Build an environment where people thrive

Treating your team fairly with dignity and respect is a social and ethical responsibility; it is an important component of a supportive, cohesive, productive team. We guide attendees through variations of need, access, reasonable adjustments and creating a safe environment that breeds a positive working climate for all.

Art with Heart is a leader in training in equality, access, wellbeing and care; connecting how we work and live. We’ve received the ‘ADHD Partnership Award’ from The ADHD Foundation and ‘Equality Award’ from Salford CVS.
