Transforming Culture
Learning about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and antiracism is not a quick process. Keen to ensure organisations transform business and employees, we analysed best practice and academic research on successful methods to implement inclusion and diversity and designed our flagship programme, Crafting Compassionate Cultures.
âIntent is not impactâ A line we regularly share during training. However, that line also applies to Strawberry Words and the learning we offer. No matter how well intended, we asked some crucial questions:
How can we ensureâŚ
Employers know how to de-escalate racial issues to avoid litigation?
Minorities feel safe at work?
Employers know how to create cultures that retains and attracts minority staff?
Employees know how to be allies?
People feel confident to talk about racism?
When critically assessing our work, we had to think beyond the one-off training sessions and consider how we move organisations to change culture to embed antiracism and DEI practices in everyday practice.
Crafting Compassionate Cultures is based on our learn.think. apply framework:
LEARNÂ about how systemic racism and other forms of discrimination show up in your organisation.
THINKÂ about how to transform company culture to one that is authentically open and welcoming to all.
APPLYÂ newfound knowledge and our tools to bring the company closer to becoming antiracist and anti-discriminatory for all.

âIt's essential training for any public sector organisation. 2. It's accessible and non-preachy. 3. It gives an opportunity to talk about our experiences, ideas and misconceptions. 4. There's always something new to learn.â
Saul Malloy - Staffordshire Youth Offending
"I still have more to learn and I don't think that stops but I enjoy developing my knowledge on these topics and I found the videos very informative and thought provoking."
Laura Vennell PD Manager Osborne Clarke
âCCC definitely stretched and enhanced my knowledge and has given me more thirst for further work. I want to be a better ally, and not being racist isn't enough, you need to be actively anti-racist in my view.â
Lora Humphries - Advisory Teacher for children with visual impairments. Coventry City Council
"I think it would be useful to the organisation as there was some practical gems such as the B.R.A.V.I.N.G model and the policy templates, the reading list and I think it could really help shift things."
