Colleagues

Much thanks for the overwhelming response.  It appears that there is a need for the training outlined in my previous e-mail as number of equality and diversity professionals have stated that they would find this useful.  

I study the responses, suggest a way of taking this forward and e-mail you shortly.

We would also potentially be interested in the bespoke training. 

Internally, we have also asked researchers from our Learning Institute to test our approach to statistics and methodology and they have been very helpful.
