As well as my creative services, I offer training and consultancy and accessibility assessments. To find out more and discuss potential fees:

Training Packages

General and disability-specific Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training: exploring discrimination, law, and what organisations can do to model good practice. In this training I focus on equality and rights.

Disability Justice training. This introduces you to a model that goes beyond rights and into justice and equity for disabled people focusing on intersectional and cross-movement work.

Anti-Ableism training, exploring how organisations can move beyond equality and inclusion to becoming actively anti-ableist as organisations. This will dismantle the idea that we are (or should be) non-disabled, reframing your perspective entirely.

Returning packages, where I work with individuals and organisations on organisational change, before returning to review the impact and changes achieved.

Consultancy

I take a systems analysis approach to initiating my access consultancy work. To change a system one must understand it. By recognising the fixed and flexible constraints, you can find solutions. I will explore your internal process, procedures and policies to find ways that you can work more effectively.

Once I know the environment, I bring my creative experience to the table, seeking solutions and work-arounds to improve access.

Whilst training is about changing your organisation’s knowledge and processes, access consultancy offers an in-depth assessment of operations or programmes. You can pair consultancy with my custom training packages to support you in making the changes you need.

I have carried out this work with organisations across the arts, education, non-profit, activist and health, and social care sectors.

Jamie ran two excellent workshops on disability justice for our staff team at NEON. The workshops helped us to develop a deeper understanding of contemporary issues facing disabled people, particularly within our social movement spaces, and explored how we can apply that knowledge in practical ways we can develop and deliver our programmes.

Jamie’s bespoke disability awareness training sessions are informative, interactive, and dynamic. They worked with us carefully to ensure that the training met the needs of the participants and spoke to their specific concerns. They have transformed our understandings of disability, enabled us to support colleagues and students more effectively, and empowered us to forge creative solutions to a range of issues. We are so fortunate to have benefited from Jamie’s expertise, and heartily recommend them as a trainer to any organisation.
