Diversify are experts in the field of disability confident business consulting. Our work aims to transform society’s views of people living with disabilities and impairments so that they can live fulfilling lives with confidence and engagement in the community.
Diversify has achieved ‘Disability Confident Leader’ status, the highest level possible in the Government’s Disability Confident scheme.
Disability Confident encourages employers to be positive about the skills that people with disabilities can bring to the workforce and remove barriers to recruiting and retaining employees with disabilities. To be a Leader means doing the right thing, setting the right example, and sharing best practice.
Diversify want to encourage more companies to make sure they’re not missing out on this huge, untapped pool of talent. We are proud to be a fully inclusive employer helping to positively change attitudes, behaviours and cultures.
We consult one-on-one with business leaders and their staff to help them become more disability confident.
What is disability confident consulting? It’s an approach to disability and impairment that shifts the focus away from what can’t be done, where the discourse often takes place, and pivots to what can be done, a discussion about the possibilities and the solutions we can put into place to empower disabled and impaired people.
From private organisations and government associations, to care homes and educational facilities, we empower organisations with the knowledge that they have an active role to play in serving the disabled and impaired members of their community.

I asked Diversify if they could support the development of a new team I am setting up within the NHS (mental health services) I was keen to support the development of a culture in the team which embraces and values diversity and difference and discussed these needs with Sara who tailored some training specifically for us. We agreed to two workshops on LGBT and Disability and both sessions were adapted specifically to our needs, with Sara ensuring she knew what we needed and it matched the needs of the team. All the team (around 15 in total) enjoyed both sessions, stating they got a lot out of the workshops. They all engaged well and it is clear they have taken a lot of learning on board from the sessions. I would love to work with Diversify again, very professional, friendly and adaptive.
