All staff are required to complete a short Equality, Diversity and Inclusion course as part of their statutory/mandatory training but in addition people complete a wide range of activity including training, briefings, reading and leadership development activities not all of which are recorded centrally and therefore it is not possible to provide an overall figure for training days.
