Our Story
SIC was created by Alice Hargreaves and Rachael Mole back in February 2021. Both Alice and Rachael had experienced barriers in the workplace due to their disabilities. After a few too many bad experiences, they decided that something needed to change and set up SIC with a goal of supporting fellow disabled professionals to thrive at work and in self-employment too.
Originally, SIC offered paid work experience placements and then helped these trainees into paid work or education. Quickly though we realised that businesses were a huge part of the problem and we needed to pivot.
SIC now operates as SIC Official which provides businesses with consulting and support, and as the SIC Learning Hub, which offers a range of free support to disabled and neurodivergent professionals.
Everything we do is born out of our lived experiences.
