🔶 EVENT DETAILS
🟠 Successful Disability Inclusive Hiring: Strategies That Last
📅24 July 2025 | ⏰ 9AM–1PM | 💻 Online
Disability inclusion often gets tiptoed around — misrepresented, minimised, or misunderstood. This session will teach you how to lead uncomfortable conversations with clarity, confidence, and alignment to both values and business strategy.
Key ROI & Deliverables:
✔ A plug-and-play job post template that speaks to disabled candidates and drives responses
✔ A language guide that expands your talent pool instead of narrowing it
✔ A recruitment checklist to help you avoid the usual dead ends and slow referrals
✔ A list of trusted sources and partnerships — who to reach, how to approach, and what really works
✔ A mindset shift: stop hoping people will apply. Start attracting people who belong.
This is not just “good practice.” This is critical infrastructure for disability-inclusive recruitment.
You’ll walk away with: A live hiring plan you can implement within the week with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
🟠 Monitoring DEIB Without Tokenism
📅 7 August 2025 | ⏰ 9AM–1PM | 💻 Online
Measuring inclusion is not about counting demographics. It’s about ensuring accountability, cultural integrity, and evidence-based impact without reducing people to checkboxes. This session gives you clear, ethical, high-trust models for reporting and measuring disability inclusion across your organisation.
Key ROI & Deliverables:
✔ Templates for tracking disability inclusion that centre dignity and compliance
✔ Language for ethical data collection and identity-based monitoring
✔ Methods to reduce “diversity fatigue” and increase executive buy-in
✔ Strategic frameworks to design dashboards that reflect real transformation
You’ll walk away with: An implementation-ready DEIB scorecard and data structure that builds trust with your board, your funders, and your people.
