EDP Training — Mental Health Services in Bristol, England

I recently completed the Race Foundations digital learning and Race Aware with Bianca at EDP Training and highly recommend both. It was surprisingly difficult to find comprehensive online training focused specifically on race awareness, which makes this course stand out. The content was clear, thorough and genuinely thought-provoking. It challenged my assumptions and gave me practical tools I’ll use both personally and professionally. If you’re serious about developing an anti-racist mindset, this digital learning is well worth it. — Samantha Campbell

A must for organisational change on implementing anti racist practices. Bianca was great at giving us a safe space to discuss topics that could be uncomfortable for some staff but this was important to move forward as an organisation. Some deep and meaningful discussion that allowed us to start making plans for not only organisational changes but being an ally for other organisations.

Recently I completed Race Ahead training with Bianca and EDP, I cannot recommend this training highly enough, thought provoking, challenging, educational and supportive. A real positive step for the organisation to commit to racial equity and for me as an individual to strengthen my confidence and knowledge to be an anti-racist ally

I recently received anti-racism training which I found to be really well delivered. It was informative, and delivered by a really supportive trainer who made us all feel at ease whilst discussing tricky subjects. I feel a lot more confident in discussing this and putting in place not just 'non-racist' but anti-racist policies and actions.

The training we had recently with EDP around Race Awareness was really eye opening and is helping me and my organisation to work towards being anti racist. I was really nervous at the beginning because I was worried about saying the wrong thing and use of langauage. The one thing that will stay with me is building my confidence to recognise and challenge microaggressions. Bianca made the training engaging and thought provoking.

I would highly recommend EDP Training and the Race Ahead programme. The training was exceptionally well delivered - clear, thoughtful and appropriately challenging, and created a space where managers could engage honestly with complex issues around race, power and structural inequality. As a senior leader, I found it particularly valuable in strengthening my confidence to lead on anti-racist practice at a strategic level. It moved beyond awareness into practical organisational change, helping us think about what we can implement immediately as an employer, through our service delivery, and through the wider influence we hold across the systems we work within. EDP’s approach is rigorous, supportive and rooted in real-world impact. This is exactly the kind of training organisations need if they are serious about meaningful and sustained anti-racist change.

I recently did the Race Ahead Train the Trainer training. It was an incredibly valuable experience. Bianca was welcoming, professional and created a space that allowed for rich and vulnerable conversations.

EDP Training should be a go to for support and training on anti-racism in the workplace, and more broadly. I recently completed the Race Ahead training and Train the Trainer Training. Both were brilliantly and sensitively delivered. Bianca and her team were amazing.

The training that Bianca and her team provide has set me up brilliantly to be an ally for anti-racism in my workplace. The training is run in a balanced, supportive and non-accusatory way, simply laying out the facts and gently guiding us on a clear path towards change. I recommend this training to anyone who is more curious about making their workplace a fairer place.

Great experience being trained as a Mental Health First Aider, I have learnt so much. Bianca is an amazing trainer striking the perfect balance between knowledge, empathy and enthusiasm when covering some really difficult topics. She managed to create an open and dynamic learning environment which I imagine is hard when doing things remotely. Her passion is infectious. I would highly recommend! thanks Bianca.
