Chiatulah Ameke is rated by many sources as one of the best Diversity and Race Equality trainers in the UK. For most of the 1990s he was a Groupwork Probation Officer at the Camberwell Probation Centre in the former Inner London Probation Service (ILPS), specialising in BME Offender and Cognitive Behavioural groups. Chiatulah ran over 500 BME offender group sessions and wrote the most influential handbook in this field. His unique level of experience and empowering training style has led to an ever increasing demand for his skills as a trainer and consultant from criminal justice agencies nationwide. He has delivered training packages to over 2000 staff in Youth Offending and Probation teams to date and we are already taking bookings for him for 2008 - many of these repeat bookings as well as new potential clients who each receive a free initial consultation.
