Some of the amazing programmes we have delivered

"I just wanted to say thank you for the training, we have received very positive feedback and everyone was very surprised by the actors being involved.

The facilitation was excellent"

“The Royal Navy worked with the Garnett Foundation to update and improve our Diversity and Inclusion Training package. At all times they provided a professional and supportive service. The team at TGF are proactive in their approach, being experts in the field of D&I they were able to provide a high level of support during this collaboration process, resulting in the creation of a new and innovative training package.”

Using the distinct objectives provided, we were required to design a bespoke programme to support the workings and teachings of Defence Support, Strategic Command at Shrivenham. This course specifically explored how MOD trainers could manage their classrooms in an inclusive way.

“Since attending the Garnett Interactive training, I think more about putting myself in my patients’ shoes. I want to be sure that I have done everything possible to make them feel comfortable, safe in our hands and happy.” Clinical Support Worker

We worked with Government Commercial Organisation to build a programme to embrace 'One Civil Service culture’. Delivering bespoke scenarios to 430 delegates. 

“The training was based of real evidence and was portrayed in an effective manner. This allowed the group to discuss the elements of the training as we progressed through the course. Unlike online training we were able to interact with the trainer to gain a much better understanding.”

"CBH were delighted with the full staff awareness raising sessions conducted by the Garnett Foundation on Equality and Diversity. The test has to be that the format is one which staff have clearly both enjoyed and remembered. The enthusiasm of the actors and the ability to interact is an excellent combination to “making it real”. We look forward to working together again.”

We designed a roadshow of events to travel around the country. Informed by our detailed research, each set of workshops was tailored to reflect organisation-wide issues, as well as those specific to each location including staff feeling valued, training needs and customer interaction.

"Having worked as a doctor and psychiatrist in the NHS for a number of years, I was amazed at the relevance and accuracy of the material Garnett Interactive used and how it facilitated conversations and exploration of so many gritty issues"

“You know the training has had a positive impact when the staff are still talking about the training opportunity a week later! The training was outstanding.”

Participants understood their inclusive leadership responsibility in role modelling appropriate behaviour and setting standards. They were able to reflect on their own behaviours, as well as their response to the behaviour of others, promoting team cohesion and effective working.
