Who should attend:

This session is aimed at anyone who volunteers, or works, for groups or charities delivering support/services specifically in the Tamworth locality.

​Overview:

In the voluntary sector we meet many people from different backgrounds. Unconscious bias operates without our being aware of it and this affects the way that we think and make decisions. This session will help you become more self-aware and explain how to use conscious inclusion practices to address your own biases.

Topics covered:

• Explore how bias affects decision making.
• Examine where bias comes from and how it manifests itself.
• Evaluate your own biases.
• Learn how to start to overcome your biases through Conscious Inclusion.

Please note the following instructions:

• We will be providing refreshments.
• Handouts and training notes will be issued.
• Please bring your own pens and anything else you might require.
• Car parking is available on site, free of charge.

Do let us know if you have any additional needs we should be aware of.
