Anti-Racism Training Program

Give your people the awareness, skills, and confidence to challenge and dismantle racism. This program equips teams and leaders with tools to build safe, respectful, and equitable workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Why We do

Why Anti-Racism Training Matters

Racism — whether overt, structural, or subtle — remains one of the most damaging barriers to equity and inclusion in the workplace. Left unchallenged, unconscious bias, exclusionary behaviours, and systemic inequities undermine trust, performance, and wellbeing. Anti-Racism Training ensures employees and leaders can identify racism, confront harmful actions, and replace silence with accountability. Training strengthens organisational culture, boosts confidence, and drives meaningful, lasting change.

Challenge Everyday Racism

From offensive remarks to microaggressions, everyday racism harms individuals and weakens teams. Training empowers staff to recognise and respond effectively.

Reduce Bias in Decisions

Recruitment, promotion, and performance processes are often shaped by unconscious bias. This program provides strategies to make fair, transparent choices.

Protect Belonging & Safety

Workplaces thrive when all feel valued. Anti-racist practices build psychological safety and collaboration.

Strengthen Retention & Culture

Employees are more engaged and more likely to stay when organisations actively oppose racism and model fairness.

Safeguard Reputation & Compliance

Addressing racism is both an ethical and legal necessity. Organisations that act protect their brand and their people.

Drive Lasting Change

Anti-racism is not a one-off exercise. Training equips teams with practical tools to embed equity in everyday practice.

Testimonial

Client Feedback & Reviews

Discover how our clients are creating lasting change and what they’re saying about the experience.

Feedback from colleagues was extremely positive and they very much liked the delivery style. Quite a few were anxious prior the session as their previous experience of EDI learning has not been positive, but they felt rejuvenated and ready to return to their work places with a clear understanding of the differences between equality and equity and feel more confident in challenging some of the practices within their establishments.

We recently had the pleasure of Ayo Barley delivering an insightful guest speaker session for employees at Siemens Healthineers. Ayo’s engaging and thought-provoking presentation on cultural humility made the session both enjoyable and educational. Those who attended walked away with a deeper understanding of our cultural lenses and how to foster greater cultural inclusivity both professionally and personally. Thank you, Ayo!

Grania Heal Country Head, Ireland, Siemens Healthineers

It’s a pleasure to work with Ayo. A strategic thinker with an inspiring leadership style that creates transformational change. Ayo supported the design, delivery and evaluation of our leadership and career development programme for minoritised ethnic colleagues. The impact has been life changing for all those involved, and Ayo’s contributions were invaluable to the programme success. On top of that, she also keeps you super organised! Needless to say, we’ve hooked up with Ayo again to run the programme again!

Harriet Tyler People Engagement Partner, People Team, University of Central Lancashire

Ayo worked with us to deliver training for our members on how they might increase the diversity of people they involve. She was a real pleasure to work with – she responded to our brief and made changes to her plans following discussions with us. The training she delivered was great and really hit the spot. And it was delivered in a clear, authoritative and non-threatening way. I would definitely look to work with Ayo again

Bec Hanley (she/her) For the Shared Learning Group on Involvement

Ayo is one of the most insightful and knowledgeable professionals I have had the privilege of working with. Would absolutely go as far as to say her insights on community, race equality and networking are essential listening.
