Our pledge to our people

Equality
Everyone who works for us has equal opportunity to reach their potential, thrive and succeed. Everyone receives the same advantages and benefits. 
Diversity
We celebrate difference and recognise that this makes us stronger and more effective. It adds enormous value. Our recruitment and employment processes, and how we behave, will never discriminate, whether based on protected characteristics, social status, neurodiversity or any other element of difference. 
Inclusion
We want all our employees to be able to be their true selves at work. 

Everyone should feel valued and accepted, without having to conform. We support employees, regardless of their background or circumstance, to thrive at work.
ANTI-RACISM
We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation. We understand that means taking action to address structural and other forms of racism.

Where present we acknowledge our individual and collective privilege, and commit to use this only in pursuit of these principles. 

Learners  love us

The eLearning package was the best I have ever done

Engaging and interactive throughout. Speakers delivered content and brought us all into the discussion with enthusiasm and passion and this always helps
I don't think I've ever concentrated so well on a course. Thank you!
Great way of presenting and approachable, really good presenters.
Very well organised, brilliant course leaders - engaging and interesting and great material.
Easy to access, easy to digest, great to be able to pause to make notes. I was watching the videos thinking, 'I wish all courses gave such good study material'!
