The Paralympics, Invictus Games, even Strictly - there’s no shortage of positive examples of how people cope with a disability or their life challenges. However, not all disabilities can be seen, The Equality Act 2010 covers 9 specific areas (known as the protected characteristics.) These are:
Disability, Age, Religion or belief, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Sexual Orientation, Gender, Gender reassignment and Race.
Companies in the UK are legally required to follow a set of practices to ensure discrimination is eradicated and expectations of equality are met in the workplace.
Most people don’t set out to be offensive or non inclusive - they may simply not have the knowledge or understanding. Richard Shakespeare understands this only too well, as his cerebral palsy impairs his movement and effects the way people interact with him. Richard is an inspiration to me as he has always focused on the possible. With his business he delivers education on what to say, how to act and transforms how people interact with their customers and colleagues. Companies like Eurostar, Standard Life, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and East midlands Trains all benefit from the expertise that Richard can offer.
