'Over the last three years we have used Credibility in both a training and consultancy capacity to help us deliver on our equal opportunities and diversity agenda. They trained our board of governors and entire staff group- ranging from senior management, academic, admin and other support staff. This was a major undertaking but Credibility's sensitive approach to what at times could be an emotive subject has helped our staff to take on board the seriousness of our commitment to equality of opportunity'
