VIBE (which stands for Values and Inclusion Based Employer) is our new training programme and EDI framework aimed at supporting corporate organisations to design and implement meaningful Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategies within the workplace.

Delivered by trainers with lived experience of disability and exclusion, the course is designed to be interactive, informative and educational, helping to open up discussions and reflections across topics:

• Access to Work
• Anti-Racism
• Cultural Competency
• Embracing Learning Disabilities in the Workplace

• Neurodiversity
• Making Disability Access Meaningful
• Welcoming LGTBQ+ at work

At the end of the course we support your business to develop an action plan to help bring their learning to life to support the creation of a diverse, supportive and inclusive workplace.

Participating organisations will receive a VIBE Certificate and use of the VIBE quality mark, once their action plan has been verified, helping to develop your Social Value credentials and impact!

Get in touch with us through the contacts page in order to discuss VIBE for your workplace.
