Diversity works
director John Twitchin was for 25 Years Senior Producer in charge of BBC TV
management training output, and responsible for all BBC TV programming
concerned with equal opportunities and responses to cultural diversity.
Currently he is an independent Consultant / Trainer and Training DVD Producer.

Unlike most training films,
these DVDs/videos feature only authentic documentary case-studies. They bring
to the training room the power and credibility of real-life interactions - not over-simplified, stereotypical scripted scenes
with actors.
“These videos tackle subjects which have often proved
difficult for trainers. They are very rich in terms of content ….The design is
very good because principles of good training practice apply to every aspect of
the package.”
