Yes absolutely. In fact we encourage it. Change is much more effective when leaders from within the same company are working together, aligning goals and strategies.

At Gritty Talent we work hard to ensure we are inclusive and accessible to all. This includes the physical spaces we deliver our training in, and any online sessions and communications with our learners and clients. 

Our presentation and teaching style is designed to meet a varied slate of learning styles and we are mindful that not everyone learns in the same way.

Please do get in touch if you have any access requirements or adjustments that you would like to discuss with us regarding your application or participation in the course.

Our website has an accessibility tool which you can find in the bottom left corner of the homepage.

Our services focus on under-represented groups and we know that simply having a more diverse workforce does not equate to inclusion, opportunity and progression. 

We have a track record of delivering UK-wide EDI training initiatives for ScreenSkills, Production Guild of Great Britain, Channel 4, BBC, University of Bristol, MyWorld, Media Cymru, RTS, Screen Alliance Wales as well as for UK Broadcasters, Production and Post-Production companies. 

As creative industry professionals ourselves we understand the unique landscape in which our clients operate.

Through our training programmes we help leaders become confident and fluent in inclusive leadership, creating better work environments for their teams and driving talent retention and progression for people from under-represented groups.
