‘It’s Just Banter Mate’ Respect and Inclusion with MPFT Social Work Learning Academy, Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust

A massive thank you to all from MPFT who have made me feel so welcome.  Their staff have been extremely open-hearted and attentive to the training course that I have created, bespoke for them.  I was asked to create a course that hits several learning aims, and I really think I’ve achieved this.  The board game that I’ve created for them seems to go down a storm!  😊 Although no-one likes sliding back to the beginning after letting their customer down…  You’ll need to attend the training to understand that one! 

I’ve interviewed an array of people from across Staffordshire and beyond for this course.  This includes various films about class advantages, Gypsy – Roma – Traveller families, racism, sexism and misogyny, plus homophobia and trans identities.  Now, if you think that sounds rather a lot, fear not, I choose the films that best suit the learning needs of the assembled throng.  Incidentally all the films are rather life affirming and do not wallow in negativity.  If there’s one thing this world needs right now – it’s to be able to see the LIGHT! 

On with the feedback:
