Testimonials

What people say about our course sessions

The students have gone away with a very clear idea of what a hate incident/crime is, how individuals who are subject to such an event feel, and what to do if they witness such an event or are the subject of one. Really useful student training that will have an impact beyond the one-hour session.

Very good training, it had great information, discussion, and little tips. The presenter was engaging and informative on the topic. Felt suitable for my role and as a result of the training, my knowledge of hate crime has increased.

Liked that there were references to our local area and it felt that it was bespoke to us rather than general training.
