Where your DIY donations go.
More than 120 charities have given their staff unconscious bias training,
an investigation has found, amid questions on why donations are being spent on €œvirtue signalling€. Parkinson's UK, the Alzheimers society, the Red Cross, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are among the big-name charities providing courses, despite a Government report finding they do not work. Most charities have refused to reveal how much they are spending on consultants and training days, but day courses aimed at the sector are being advertised at around £300 per person. |

Yes well, Its always been the case but, charities do run courses to make
money from erm, often other charities, though high street names do send there folk there. I'm not so sure that a very wide ranging couple of days to deal with blind deaf wheelchairs, learning difficulties Bame etc, can ever be totally unbiased or indeed able to be absorbed by the attendees, and who sets themselves up as an expert in these areas. Myself, I'm happy to advise on font sizes communications formats and the implications of blindness on street designs for nothing, since a lot of it I have experienced first hand. Sadly its not the companies who need the training who bother to ask. and that includes councils, nhs and the like. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...
