Consultancy
What is consultancy work?
Our team of experts by experience work with your organisation to advise or review a project or piece of work, ensuring that it is accessible and appropriate for people with learning disabilities.
We work across the UK to help change the way organisations include people with learning disabilities. Our Consultants are members with learning disabilities and have considerable experience in working with companies to identify areas that need change.
What we do
We have worked with organisations such as NHS, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford Academic Health Science Network to enable them to be more inclusive and tailor their approach to learning disabilities to help improve the lives of their patients and clients.
We are changing the way the ‘system’ works one company policy at a time. Our consultants work can be tailored to your organisation’s needs and can include:
- Helping to write statements.
- How to guides.
- Creating additional tools to support changes in policy.
- Help in writing reports.
- Attending focus groups to raise issues and voice opinions.
- Reviewing and advising on training.
- Encouraging professionals to use the experiences of people with learning disabilities to shape and improve their practice.
