Access and Participation Planning

We have over 20 years’ experience in equality of opportunity with the most up to date, impartial expertise available for supporting access and participation plan writing, strategy, delivery and monitoring.
Until April 2023, Director Elizabeth Garnham led the policy and regulatory decisions that have shaped the current access and participation process. Her insight and support is helping providers to ensure their plan writing process is effective, enjoyable and makes a lasting impact.
We know that driving equality of opportunity in an organisation can be tough. With provider commitment, collaboration and strong regulation, inequality can be meaningfully addressed, for a fairer future for all.
