ABSTRACT Reviews

The course makes you really think about how you conduct yourself and check/challenge yourself as to the type of manager you are in respect of ED&I. There were times I didn't know how to begin to answer the questions being asked of us as I'd never really thought about the subject matter in such detail before. So it has been refreshing to be challenged and stop to think about how to include ED&I in all future management moving forward.

A good course although not a lot of content for 5 hours. The decision making and operating collectively sections were harder to understand the actions and take aways where judgement and character had more to learn from.

I've said this in all of the feedback: I'm not sure what to do with this there wasn't enough practical guidance in it for me. I also didn't get enough of what Senior Leadership feels is wrong and needs to change. What's their view of where we should be focusing our efforts.

Helpful course but lacking in more real-world examples from the facilitators which from my perspective made it difficult to bring some of the content and concepts to life.

Good but 3 hours too long in one go and month gaps felt too long as well Plenty to consider and an opportunity to discuss with peers which is always good

The course was interesting but at times I struggled with how we would integrate it into our work, largely because at times it felt a little too like 'here's another course', delivering something that I feel should take the form of natural conversations with people you work side by side with every day.

Good but could be more local government and Sutton specific in why it is important to care about EDI (PSED etc).

Very similar to module 1 Personally I would have liked a bit more theory and teaching than 2 break out rooms

The session today was clearer than the last one.

I feel more positive about this course than I did after module 1 - I drafted feedback but did not post as I felt too negative and I wanted to see how things panned out with module 2. Module 1 felt constrained by a prescribed approach (eg inability to change use of words because training organisation's script required use of this). I was not comfortable with some of it. Module 2 more focused on practical issues and sharing of ideas from course participants.
