Training & Consultancy at Sparkle

Creating a safe and supportive work environment for employees belonging to minority groups sends a strong message about an organisation’s values, not just to other employees, but also to customers, service users, suppliers, investors, and other key stakeholders.

​

The training we offer assumes that people want to do the right thing, but they’re not sure how. Many people won’t have knowingly met with a trans or non-binary person, and therefore fear saying or doing the wrong thing. We overcome these barriers to inclusivity by presenting lived experience, believing that much discriminatory behaviour stems from lack of knowledge, not lack of compassion.

​

Whether you are enquiring on behalf of a school or College, a charity or community organisation, public sector organisations or corporate business, we have opportunities to create a bespoke training programme specially designed for your needs.​

What can we offer?

Sparkle offers a range of training and consultancy, including:

  • Webinars​

  • Training sessions

  • Policy support

  • Input for research projects

  • Panel events

  • Q&As

  • Troubleshooting​​

​

Why chose Sparkle?

  • ​Delivery is led by trans, non-binary and gender diverse people within the organisation who have extensive knowledge and personal experience.​

  • We can offer a bespoke training package and design to meet your organisations needs, and refresher or updated training slide to compliment your existing package as needed. 

  • We offer our training to organisations without judgement or prejudice, and offer a root-and-branch analysis and evaluation of their internal policies and procedures alongside training.

  • ​The financial contribution for training goes back into our Charity, helping to sustain services for the trans & gender diverse community.​​

Testimonials

"It was lovely to hear from Josh about the life-changing work being done by the team at Sparkle, do some networking over a lunch, and understand what we can do to help!"

- Jacobs

"The content delivered was perfectly balanced. I found each part really informative and completely at the right level. The basics were covered without feeling 'dumbed down' and there was a perfect mix of fact and personal stories."

"I found it very interesting.  The speaker was the knowledgeable and the content was just the sort of thing I felt like I needed to know more about.  The approach was caring and inclusive.  It was lovely that members of the audience felt able to share their experiences and this also really helped to make the session relatable and relevant."

- Manchester City Council

“Abi was honest, friendly and superb in her presentation, her personal approach was the difference and it made for a thought provoking training.”

Excellent training - structured in a really logical way. Hearing about the lived experience of the trainers was amazing (kudos for being open and sharing this), which really helped create an open atmosphere and safe space for discussion. Also helped particularly for people in the NHS to understand what small actions can really improve people’s experience as a patient as well as colleague. It was also really useful understanding some of the legal side of things too.
