Gain topical information and insights from our monthly seminars.

24per cent people in the UK have a disability so creating an inclusive workplace is critical. Despite recent improvements in legislation there is still a huge disparity for people who are disabled. This includes lower employment rates. Directors have legal, statutory and moral responsibilities for ensuring workplaces are inclusive for all. However, it can be difficult for Directors to know where to start. Currently 80per cent of disabled people have a hidden disability which covers a wide range of physical and mental conditions that are not visible or immediately obvious.

Join us for insights from Cath who will help you gain awareness from her lived experiences, learn practical strategies for inclusion which you can use in your workplace to help you create a culture where all contributions are valued.

Navigating the professional landscape as a severely sight-impaired individual with a hidden disability has profoundly shaped my understanding of the challenges and prejudices that people like me often face. This personal journey inspired me to develop a specialised training and consultation service dedicated to promoting disability inclusion within organisations. Leveraging my unique perspective, I offer insightful guidance and practical strategies to help teams recognise and value the contributions of all employees, regardless of visible or hidden disabilities. My services include tailored workshops, comprehensive consultations, and engaging guest speaking engagements, all designed to dismantle misconceptions surrounding hidden disabilities.
