Consultancy at SEND4

At SEND4, our consultancy is rooted in a simple belief: when workplaces are inclusive by design, everyone benefits. We work alongside employers to build confidence, capability, and consistency in supporting disabled people and those with additional needs at work. Our approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on practical solutions that remove barriers, meet legal responsibilities, and create environments where people feel valued, understood, and able to thrive.

Our consultancy services support organisations at every stage of the employment journey, from recruitment through to retention, helping translate good intentions into meaningful, sustainable practice.

Inclusive Recruitment Support

Inclusive recruitment is about opening doors rather than narrowing opportunities. SEND4 supports organisations to develop recruitment practices that are fair, accessible, and focused on potential, not limitation.

We work with employers to:

Review job descriptions, adverts, and role criteria through an inclusion lens
Identify and remove barriers within application and interview processes
Explore alternative assessment methods that allow candidates to show their strengths
Support hiring managers to build confidence in inclusive decision-making

Our aim is to help organisations attract a broader talent pool while ensuring candidates experience a respectful, welcoming recruitment process.

Reasonable Adjustments

Reasonable adjustments are a vital part of inclusive employment and a legal responsibility for employers. SEND4 helps organisations understand what adjustments may be needed, how to implement them effectively, and how to review them over time.

Our support can include:

Advising on physical or environmental adjustments in the workplace
Exploring flexible working options that support wellbeing and productivity
Adjusting processes such as interviews, inductions, or performance reviews
Supporting accessible communication and assistive solutions

We take a person-centred approach, helping employers balance individual needs with organisational realities in a fair and proportionate way.

Training and Consultancy Support

Building an inclusive workplace requires knowledge, reflection, and ongoing learning. SEND4 provides training and consultancy that supports organisations to move beyond policy into confident, inclusive practice.

Our consultancy offers:

Practical guidance on disability inclusion and reasonable adjustments
Support for managers navigating complex or sensitive situations
Advice aligned with recognised best practice and national frameworks
Tools that encourage open, ongoing conversations about support needs

Our training is grounded in real-world experience, helping teams feel equipped rather than overwhelmed.

Direct Workplace Support

Sometimes inclusion requires hands-on, practical support in the workplace. SEND4 provides direct support to help employees overcome barriers, develop confidence, and succeed in their roles.

This may include:

Job coaching or mentoring to support performance and confidence
Practical strategies for task management, communication, and wellbeing
Support implementing and reviewing adjustments in day-to-day practice
Collaborative problem-solving with managers and teams

This tailored support helps create workplaces where individuals feel supported and organisations benefit from improved engagement, retention, and performance.
