The Training For All project supports people working in third sector BME organisations to access and benefit from high quality training.

The project aims to encourage commissioners, training providers, qualification developers and awarding bodies to review their practice and ensure that training can be accessed by people from a range of ethnic backgrounds.

Those delivering training also need to reflect the needs of these organisations and those working within them in their practice.

To assist with this the Training For All project has developed a series of protocols for Commissioners/Training Developers, Trainers and BME/CVS organisations to ensue that any training undertaken is reflective of these needs.

The benefits of using the protocols are varied.

For Commissioners and Developers they will ensure that cultural needs are considered at the outset and reflect the diversity within communities.

For trainers it will allow them to evidence that their training is culturally relevant and for community and their practice is flexible.

For voluntary sector BME community organisations they can evidence meeting the cultural needs of their workers and offering them correct levels of quality training.

All protocols encourage people to work together and discuss their specific needs.

These protocols are FREE.

To download the protocols follow the links on this website a short registration is required (for the projects final figures) this will take no more than one minute.
