Making Equal Opportunities Training Effective

Abstract

During the last five years a group of consultants, who have been working with organisations on programmes to increase equality of opportunity, have been developing a number of new perspectives on the issues that underlie inequality. This has led them to develop new approaches to training, new training designs and new training skills. The most important of these perspectives are laid out, and the implications for training that follow from them are explored. Issues of sex are mainly dealt with, but the principles outlined are as true for work on race or disability.
