Consulting with The Inclusive Movement
Consulting means giving advice and helping to plan changes.
We work with your organisation and the people who use it.
An organisation can be a school, shop, council, club or workplace.
We look at what helps people take part.
We also look at what gets in the way.
Something that gets in the way is called a barrier.

How a project works
First, tell us what you would like to change.
We discuss what work your project needs.
We give you a written proposal.
A proposal explains the work, costs and responsibilities.
You agree the work and fees before paid work starts.
We agree ways for people to share their ideas.
We review the setting or prepare the agreed design or training.
We explain the findings and the next steps.
Follow-up support can be included in your proposal.
What you can receive
Your proposal explains what we will give you.
This could be a report, design advice or an action plan.
An action plan explains what needs to change and who will do it.
It could also include communication resources or team training.
We provide an Easy English explanation of the important information.
