How to…

Want to create a more inclusive workplace? We suggest learning from lived experience. You can do this by learning about barriers to employment from people who have experienced many.

To start please watch stories we gathered in our Active Inclusion: Equity in Employment pilot.

We produced video resources for you, as well as being on our website you can find them all in one place on funder’s: South London No Wrong Door: Integration Hub and the South London Partnership learning page. They kindly funded this piece of work.

We hope these videos are useful for your learning and development.

As you watch, we invite you to use the activities at the end of each video as a starting point for discussions with your colleagues.

Together, you can explore how to build a truly welcoming and equitable workplace for everyone. Here we share two of the videos. Enjoy.

We are a user-led lived experience group that works with local organisations to create real opportunities. Our work helps employers build cultures where people feel safe, respected, and agency to succeed. The result? Lower turnover, stronger teams, and a living archive of insights to drive real change.
