Calm ocean with distant mountains and a partly cloudy sky

Training, consultancy, workshops, plenary talks

I have a great deal of experience delivering training within a wide range of professional and individual contexts, including charities, public bodies, NHS trusts, private companies, academic and professional training settings. My focus is on the benefits of inclusive employment practices to you, the employer, as well as to your staff. I can deliver the training online, or come to your location. Training will be developed in consultation and bespoke to the needs of your organisation.
