Consider communication, assumptions, accessibility and community knowledge in prevention, protection and public engagement.
Explore potential barriers in attraction, recruitment, development and progression while maintaining fair processes.

Operational crews, control and support staff, station and area managers, community safety and prevention teams, people and organisational development teams, training departments, senior leaders and governance groups.
You may already know the training topic you need, or you may be exploring a wider EDI issue. We can help identify an appropriate starting point and tailor support to the roles, responsibilities and context involved.
Support can range from a single training session to a programme for different staff groups, or wider work reviewing EDI priorities, policies and organisational practice.
There is no single EDI course that every organisation in this sector needs. We can help you choose training based on your people, existing knowledge, priorities and the situations they encounter in practice.
A practical foundation covering equality, discrimination, protected characteristics, bias and inclusive practice.
Explore racism, racial inequality, bias and practical anti-racist action.
Connect inclusive leadership with culture, decision-making and accountability.
Explore disability inclusion, barriers, reasonable adjustments and accessibility.
Build confidence to discuss sensitive EDI issues constructively.
Explore fair recruitment, selection, accessibility and bias in decision-making.
We can develop programmes that bring together different EDI topics for different audiences, connecting learning with leadership, service delivery, workforce practice and wider organisational priorities. Content can be adapted to your setting and delivered face-to-face or online via Zoom or Teams.
Training can use realistic Fire & Rescue scenarios to explore station culture, communication, assumptions, professional behaviour and how different communities may experience prevention, protection and engagement activity.
Support can extend beyond training. We can help review current practice, strengthen your EDI approach and identify practical priorities for further development.
Explore policies, practice, culture and available evidence to identify strengths, potential barriers and areas for development.
Consider how equality and inclusion are reflected in relevant policies and everyday practice.
Develop practical priorities and actions aligned with your organisation and wider responsibilities.
Use follow-up training, review and support to build on progress and respond to emerging priorities.
The Equality Act 2010 provides an important framework for equality and discrimination in employment and service delivery. Fire & Rescue Services may also have public sector equality responsibilities alongside professional, governance, workforce and operational arrangements. Training and review support understanding and development but do not guarantee legal or regulatory compliance.
Good EDI practice is broader than legal compliance. It also involves culture, accessibility, representation, belonging, communication and whether people can access services, participate and progress without unnecessary barriers.
Where formal legal advice is required about a specific situation or obligation, appropriate specialist legal advice should be obtained.
Whether you need a single training course, a programme for different teams or wider support with your EDI approach, tell us what you are trying to achieve and we can discuss an appropriate way forward.
