The third A: Assess

We value self-reflection. So, we will be clear and transparent about how accessible we are, ensuring that disabled talent can easily find out about our access provision and support without having to ask.


We will consistently sense-check that we have created a working culture where everyone feels open, confident and safe to communicate their access needs, bringing in specialist expertise when needed. We will also regularly evaluate and improve our inclusion policies and practices.
