Our story
Nelson Training was conceived to eliminate all the major turn-off’s on a training course. Imagine a training programme: where you never got bored, where the session was relevant to everyone there, where you were never subjected to endless boring lectures, where the time flew and no-one was ever asked to do anything embarrassing. Now imagine that with interactive comedy and drama and delighted delegates who really engaged and learned something. That’s Nelson Training.
Our expertise
#1
Diversity, equality & inclusion
We love working with Nelson Training. We always get great feedback from their sessions. Our employees really like the interaction and the actor scenarios used to underpin the learning. But it’s not just this; they appreciate the opportunity to join in and have a great discussion around some quite tricky topics in a supportive environment.
We laugh, we cry (sometimes),
we learn!It’s never boring

Just Brilliant! A Great training Day
Am amazing opportunity to be enlightened in an original way (not a Powerpoint in sight)
The sketches with live input to bring idea to life were fabulous and a great safe way to try out giving/finding advise. Highly Recommended.
Fabulous training day…would love to take part in more training sessions. The role playing scenarios were fantastic.
Excellent training and better than traditional ‘chalk and talk’ Well delivered and valuable insights on how to deal with possible conflicts.
I thoroughly enjoyed he training. It was made relatable to us all and was very well organised and delivered in a structured and entertaining way.

Anti-bullying and harassment training
The training provided by Nelson was transformational in Natural England. We went from a sparsely attended powerpoint led training course to an oversubscribed programme of courses that we have run for several years.
I was able to work with Nelson to tailor the training so that we could pitch it appropriately to the audience including one session with the CEO and her Leadership Team.
I was also able to work with the team to develop an interactive staff led story line during Bullying and Harassment Awareness week that had the highest level of staff engagement on an intranet article the organisation has ever had. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Nelson training.

Governing Without a Majority: The Hidden Risks Facing No Overall Control Councils
The recent local elections have left many UK councils operating under No Overall Control arrangements, some for the first time in decades. Much of the public conversation around NOC councils tends to focus on the politics: who forms an administration, which parties negotiate agreements, who “wins” key positions. But beneath the political headlines lies a much deeper organisational challenge. A council moving from stable majority control to coalition or minority governance often experiences a fundamental cultural shift almost overnight. Decision-making becomes more complex. Relationships become more sensitive. Informal influence grows in importance. Officers can find themselves under pressure from multiple…
When “Not a Crime” Doesn’t Mean “Not a Problem”: Implications for Workplace Culture
Recent changes to policing guidance indicate a move away from routinely recording non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs), with greater emphasis placed on incidents involving a clear risk of harm. While the policy is framed in terms of proportionality and the protection of lawful expression, it has broader implications beyond policing. For organisations, the key issue is one of responsibility. NCHIs have historically occupied an ambiguous space: not criminal, but often indicative of behaviour that could contribute to hostility, exclusion, or escalation. In this sense, they functioned as a form of early signal—highlighting patterns that, while individually minor, could become more serious…
Why Even Small Comments Matter: Neurodiversity, Respect, and Legal Risk in the Workplace
In a recent Times employment tribunal report, a worker was awarded £12,000 after her manager dismissed her request for a quiet “breakout area” by telling her to “stop thinking outside the box” and “get back in your box.” The claimant, who is dyslexic and neurodivergent, said this seemingly innocuous phrase was deeply distressing, triggering her rejection sensitivity dysphoria and contributing to disability harassment and victimisation findings against the employer (Russell, 2026). The decision may seem initially surprising — a casual remark leading to an award of damages — but it underscores an increasingly important point in UK employment practice: neurodiversity…
