Charles Russell Speechlys LLP’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Charles Russell Speechlys is delighted to announce that we have signed up to the Valuable 500, a global movement putting disability inclusion on the global business leadership agenda.
Disability inclusion is an area where the commitment and drive for change has not been as high as other areas of inclusion, yet we know:
-
15% of people live with some form of disability
-
80% of disabilities are acquired between the ages of 18 and 64
-
80% of disabilities are not visible
Diversity and inclusion is important to our firm and this not only impacts our staff, but our clients too. In signing up to the Valuable 500, we have committed to ensuring disability inclusion is a regular item on the leadership agenda and to undertake at least one action in the next year to support disability inclusion.
We will be reviewing how we can make our workplace and client experience more inclusive and accessible to those living with a disability. Examples of these action include:
-
Identifying further training and ways to raise awareness regarding disability inclusion; to ensure we provide the best possible support to our employees, and potential employees, to allow them reach their full potential.
-
Further review of our website accessibility to ensure we continue to offer, and develop, the best possible experience for all
-
A building review to ensure our building is accessible, inclusive and welcoming.
