Hello,
I've been an Accessibuilt member for many years and now work for the disability charity Scope as Relationship Management Executive for Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs).
At Scope, we’re sometimes asked by companies we work with whether we can provide DET and/or access consultancy services for them. Since 2010, we have not provided this kind of service as we recognise the excellent work DPOs and disabled consultants already do in this area. So in future, we would like to use these occasions as opportunities to introduce companies and appropriate DPOs/access auditors/consultants with direct experience of disability.
With a view to this, we are now inviting DPOs and consultants who are interested in joining our list of trusted providers to work with our corporate partners when opportunities arise.
Although we anticipate that any work would be negotiated between the DPO and the client, we do want to offer companies some assurance on the quality and type of delivery, including the following.
• We would expect any DET training to be delivered by a suitably qualified disabled person who has a sound knowledge and understanding of the social model of disability.
• We would not expect a DET training programme to include any simulation training.
• Any technically-oriented service, like access auditing, would require evidence of technical competence.
What’s in it for me?
• Opportunities to work with big companies and build new client networks when they arise.
• Direct remuneration for your services.
What happens next?
• If you are interested, please get in touch as soon as possible.
• We will send you further information about how the scheme works and a list of criteria we expect you or your organisation to meet in order to provide assurance to our corporate partners.
• If you meet the criteria, we will then add you to our list of trusted providers.
Interested? Please email Graham Findlay, Relationship Management Executive (Disabled People’s Organisations) for further details: [log in to unmask]
Many thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.
