ABSTRACT Reviews

This is a complex subject and I think the trainers are tackling it well. At times it seems repetitive but I think that this is unavoidable. Overall they have managed to make it engaging. E,D&I deserves to be afforded this level of commitment and I think Sutton are correct to allocate this amount of time.

It is good to have a conversation underway, although opportunity to engage on a daily basis in the way we need to to move this conversation on is a problem due to remote working and the current makeup of the council.

A great course with the right balance between break out sessions and presentations.

Would be better with longer breaks

Good course but probably a bit slower to get going on this occasion.

a stimulating and thought provoking course, quite fast paced and demanded very high levels of concentration. I t would have been good to have a bit more of a mid-point break. It was almost like there was too much 'energy in the room'

Good content and thought provoking. Could have done we an extra 30 mins for more discussion time as really interesting hearing views and perspectives from colleagues.

Good session, more time allocated to the challenging questions would have been good and allowed more curious conversations. Personally also interested in a discussion about how much we can expect to change the cultural norms and break down any barriers within the organisation, when that's set against a national dialogue from our politicians and press that seems to drive division and promote a very fixed idea of Britishness for example, that is not really inclusive. Should we be recognising that national picture more and talking about how we try to insulate the organisation from it.

Introduction was too long, and some of the material could have been covered quicker to allow more time for small group discussion, which I felt was the most useful part of the session.

A helpful and well delivered course
