🚪 Accessibility isn’t just about ramps and lifts – it’s about removing barriers for everyone.

It means considering the needs of all individuals, creating supportive environments for everyone and being mindful of the language we use and the understanding we show.

True accessibility goes beyond physical spaces, it's about creating environments where everyone feels included.

📢 Did you know there are over 16 million disabled people in the UK, yet the employment rate for disabled people is just 53% compared to 82% for non-disabled people?

This 29% disability employment gap isn’t just a statistic, it’s a call to action. 🌟

At Rachel BW Accessibility & Inclusion Solutions, I help businesses close this gap by creating inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive. Let’s work together to make meaningful change.

How aware are you that it's Disability History Month?

Did you know that 3 out of 4 disabled people (72%) have experienced negative attitudes or behaviours - including making assumptions about what they can or cannot do, judging their capability based on appearance alone.

Unbelievable? OK, let's try it out:

I arrive at your office for an interview.
I wonder what goes through your mind. Perhaps:
“Oh, she walks using sticks. She looks a bit awkward getting up those steps.”

What are you assuming? What might you be wondering about my abilities? What might you think I’m capable of?

Now consider this:
• I’ve delivered programmes to diverse audiences all around the world.
• I’ve led global teams and travelled extensively, delivering initiatives across Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas.
• I run my own business.
• I’m a PADI diver. I drive a 7.5-tonne lorry. I cycle, swim regularly, and am actively involved in equine sport.
• I’m a mother of two children.

I wonder what impression you have of me now. What are your assumptions and beliefs at this moment?

This Disability History Month, commit to being more curious.

Every CV that lands on your desk holds the potential of someone extraordinary - someone who might enrich your team with unique talents, regardless of visible or invisible differences.

If you’re ready to embrace inclusive thinking and unlock the true potential of diverse talents, let’s start a conversation.
