I’m disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill and I’m looking for support

We’re a social enterprise that was set up so that all the support we provide to employers helps fund free support for you. This includes free events and mentor-mentee match-making.

Does your current equality, diversity and inclusion strategy cover disability and health? Research shows that just 4% of businesses include disability and health in their initiatives, yet nearly one in four of the working-age population are disabled.

The world of work has changed. Work is, in theory, more accessible than ever before. There’s never been a better time to address a major pinch point for organisations: how to be truly inclusive.

Many organisations recognise the importance of structural education in gender, sexuality, race, and religion, yet fail to address training and awareness of disability, neurodivergence, and health.

It isn’t as simple as having wheelchair access, or stating you accept disabled applicants in your recruitment process. It’s recognising what you’re doing well, and where needs improvement, to build an inclusive work culture for disabled people- which means it’s an inclusive work culture for everyone.

We bring our lived experiences as disabled, chronically ill, and neurodiverse professionals.

We partner with consultants, facilitators, and case studies to represent the different experiences and intersectionalities within disabled voices, ensuring our consulting is as diverse as possible.

Having delivered programmes and consulting to companies across the UK (and the US too), SIC focusses on developing the confidence of teams. We create a safe space for key conversations to take place.

What our clients say

“We have been lucky enough to work with SIC on a number of occasions, they have been able to provide us with a wealth of knowledge around equality, diversity and inclusion and have contributed to discussions around this for our Student Matters series. SIC has also worked with us on our Social Impact Programme, providing students with valuable insights about setting up an organisation that truly makes a difference. Their contribution has really made an impact on the programme, with one of the students reaching out to SIC for further mentoring. We look forward to continuing to work with SIC going forward.”

“SIC is extremely knowledgeable and insightful when it comes to accessibility and inclusion in the workplace. They bridge the gap between academic understanding and real life, no nonsense implementation, which has been invaluable for our small business and remote team, many of whom have a disability. SIC has supported us in creating a truly inclusive and accessible culture, which has a huge impact now and will be invaluable as we grow and attract more talent with a wide range of abilities and disabilities.”

— Sophie Turton, Director, The Joyful (Brand and Marketing Agency)
“My accessibility session with SIC was eye-opening and fascinating. I had no idea how many important things I missed when it comes to accessibility, even as a fully remote business. SIC's advice was tailored, practical and easy to implement, and I'll most certainly be looking to them for advice and strategy in the future."

— Heather Murray, Founder, Beesting Digital
“Very grateful to SIC for creating such a welcoming and opening environment free from any judgement partnered with gentle encouragement. Even though the session was only an hour long, I came away feeling more confident in the language I would use surrounding the topic of disability. It was also so insightful and invaluable to learn more about how our company could better practice inclusivity and to better understand disability in the workplace.”

"Alice’s presentation was passionate, insightful, and captivating, reflecting her extensive knowledge and lived experience of disability and neurodivergence. Her work with SIC has clearly enriched her understanding, making her a powerful voice in the field. Our members have reflected on how valuable Alice’s talk was in developing both their personal and professional understanding of neurodiversity and gender. Her comprehensive expertise, combined with her engaging presentation style and warm personality, made for an extremely successful event. We highly recommend Alice to any organisation seeking a speaker for an event on Disability and Inclusion."

"Can I just share how wildly impressed I was with Alice / SIC. I work in DEI research with a focus on Disability and I’ve rarely heard such a clear succinct presentation in such an engaging manner. She was truly brilliant. Thank you for arranging this webinar."
