Resource Pack: Building Inclusive Workplaces
Thank you for your interest in these resources.
These resources were developed from what disabled people across the North East told us about looking for work, starting work and staying in work. They are designed to help employers and organisations build more inclusive workplaces.
All resources are free to use within your organisation.

Personas
The six personas below are based on patterns identified through conversations with disabled people.
Each persona represents a different set of barriers that people may experience. They can be used in team meetings, training, workshops and discussions about inclusive employment.
Click on the personas below to watch the animation and download the accompanying documents for each one.
Building Inclusive Workplaces Guide
This guide is designed for employers who want to make work more accessible.
It shares practical examples of inclusive employment and questions to help organisations reflect on their recruitment, workplace practices and organisational culture.
Employer Workbook
This workbook can be used alongside the personas to support discussion and reflection.
It includes learning outcomes, discussion questions, practical exercises and workshop activities that can be used in team meetings, training sessions and organisational reviews.
