What it means to be a Disability Confident

Leader

We attended the Flexpo Live Inclusive Workplace Event on 21st and 22nd February and had the opportunity to share what it means to be a Disability Confident Leader.

Ingeus has been a Disability Confident Leader for 6 years and have Disability Confident Champions that promote the scheme both internally and externally. From empowering our own workforce and supporting thousands of disabled and disadvantaged people into work each year, to mentoring other employers to become Disability

Confident so that they can recruit and retain talent people, we walk the talk when it comes to unlocking the potential of people with disabilities.

Grant Neems, Director of Employer Services at Ingeus and champion of the Disability Confident scheme, tells us more in the full video which you can find on our YouTube channel.

Justice employee reaches 1000th enrolment milestone

Ingeus employee, Daren Ramsdale, has been working on the Justice divisions’ CF03 contract from the start 2015 in the East Midlands, and has just recently passed his 1000th enrolment milestone!

Darren’s job is not an easy one, and it sees him supporting many participants, with very complex needs, in preparation for their release to the community. Darren understands that an individual approach needs to be delivered to ensure the participant’s specific needs. This has led to Darren delivering 730 training sessions and 900 specialist supportive measures. His specialist approach is invaluable for the prisoners struggling with mental health, substance misuse and a range of other complex needs. Due to Darren’s huge success, HMP Ranby see CF03 as an essential service implemented by Ingeus.
