Conference Feedback
“Great range of topics and presenters that covered relevant issues”.
“Great to have relevant workshops on issues facing organisations that
are ‘hot topics’ at the moment. Well done”.
"Bill Moss opened my eyes to the difficulties facing people with
disability, not just in gaining employment, and highlighted the
role middle management has to play”.
“It was great to hear about the experiences of people with disability
in such a real way. I thought that the design of the day helped to
demonstrate how disability is only one part of the HR strategy and
reminded me of the need to make greater links to that strategy”.
“I am buzzing with ideas after the conference, I’m really glad that I
went. I also think that it was really well managed to be collegiate. I
felt like I truly benefited from the experience and knowledge of other
attendees”.
“I enjoyed every aspect of the conference and wouldn’t suggest
any changes for future events”.
