As part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we’re proud to highlight our continued dedication to making ateb Group a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone. This year, we’ve once again demonstrated our commitment through a series of impactful training sessions focused on Neurodiversity, Sexual Harassment in the Workplace, and general Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I).

This training, delivered by Craig Rees from CTR Care Training, was an important opportunity for our team to come together and learn how we can better support each other, our customers, and our communities. Craig commented on the experience, saying:

“It was great to interact with all members of the ateb team—everyone respected everyone’s views and contributions. It was particularly encouraging to see board members, the Directors, and staff from across the organisation engaged in the training, showing a real commitment to ateb’s DNA, diversity, equality, equity and promoting an inclusive culture.”

At ateb Group, we believe that ED&I is not just a one-off effort. We undertake this important training every year, ensuring that we continually grow and evolve as an organisation that champions equality for all, along with many other initiatives. By participating in these sessions, our team is better equipped to understand and support the diverse needs of our colleagues and customers, and to stand against any form of discrimination or hate.

Together, we’re taking steps to ensure that hate has no place in our communities, and we remain committed to making ateb a place where everyone feels valued and respected.
