The training is delivered by the General Federation of Trade Unions Educational Trust, in collaboration with Stand Up to Racism, Anti-Racist Movement, ACORN, Living Rent, the economics department at SOAS, University of London, and data modelling organisation Bombe.io.

*Key drivers behind that support – including social media influences, news sources and wider social attitudes.
