How can you make your organisation a truly inclusive workplace?
In his At The Forefront session, our CEO Mary Rose Gunn speaks to Alex Winstanley, co-founder of Happy Smiles Training, a social enterprise creating more inclusive organisations and communities through disability awareness training led by disabled people.
Three key takeaways:
1. The biggest barriers faced by disabled people aren’t always physical, they’re attitudes
2. Inclusion only works when people with lived experience lead the conversation
3. Tackling stigma must start young – inspiring Alex’s award-winning children’s book series on long-term health conditions
