Evaluation Description |
The evaluation addressed the efficacy and utility of the training programme. In doing so it compared the difference in understanding, attitudes and practices between employers/managers who received the training and a cohort who did not. The majority of participants indicated that the training had influenced their views in a positive way and a significant number have reviewed their working practices/policies within their own workplaces.
