What types of training does the Anti-Discrimination Board offer? What makes the Board's training different? Who has the Board provided training for? space			e What people have said about our training “The feedback from those who attended our EEO awareness training was very positive. The case examples were a good interpretation of how current harassment, discrimination and bullying laws operate in Australia. ADB were very supportive in delivering a program that enabled our interstate based workforce to link in via telephone conference and net meeting. This was further enhanced through the presenter’s broader knowledge of interstate EEO legislation. We will definitely consider engaging the services of ADB in the future.” ----------------------------------- “Recently we engaged the services of the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board to provide training for our Contact Officers. The majority of our staff have had no prior experience in corrections, and it was imperative to establish support systems so that employees could approach fellow staff members to seek guidance on policy and procedure. The training facilitated by the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board was invaluable, especially as it incorporated the GEO Group Australia policies and procedures relating to bullying and harassment as well as raising grievances. I would not hesitate in using the services of the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board again.” ----------------------------------- “The NSW ADB tailored their grievance handling course for Valspar’s senior managers and line managers. The training was closely aligned to our policies, which were reviewed by the ADB and included in the training material. The trainer demonstrated her expertise in delivering the material to our managers, both as a trainer and through her experience and knowledge. The theory was supported with practical and effective case studies and real life issues. The style of the training was effective and facilitated involvement from all the participants, whose feedback was also extremely positive.”
