Virginia Donovan, Licentiate CIPD, is a diversity consultant with over 20 years experience of successfully designing and delivering diversity and equality solutions in organisations.  She has experience as a senior HR and Diversity manager in the public sector and as a consultant with both the public and private sector.  She recognises the need for organisations to minimise the risk of discrimination whilst enabling employees to feel skilled and confident in handling a range of diversity issues.

Virginia understands the impact exclusion and discrimination can have on everyday performance and behaviour in organisations and appreciates the reality of making policies and procedures work on a day to day basis.  Her interactive diversity programmes are specifically designed to examine practical dilemmas participants encounter in their every day work and how they can deal with these effectively. She creates an open, supportive yet fun learning environment where participants feel able to discuss diversity issues and focus on positive outcomes.

Virginia's workshops also provide valuable feedback which help organisations to identify and prioritise future action.
