I am looking for training for our associate trainers to give them information about different ethnic groups in London and also the confidence and skills to effectively challenge participants' views and stereotypes about these issues. For example, when an Israeli participant expressed the opionion that for women,wearing the headscarf was a form of domestic violence, the trainers running that course did not feel confident enough tochallenge her. Any ideas?

Equality Training
Diversity and Equality training is my anorak subject. Equality proofing is the lining for all courses at design,delivery and evaluation stages
LONDON training needs to be conducted against a backcloth of the capital’s social atlas and demographic returns from 2001 Census. I would expect to see employment and customer care issues covered as well as
RELIGIONS
Cultures and Communities
embracing worship,diet,dress code,death and other information.Background information against the backcloth of the SHAP calendar also needs addressing as do Work and Family issues and specific needs of other groups
Huge subject – happy to help
