Customers heading for a ‘Bright and Wonderful’ future

Three customers on the Inspiring Futures programme in Cheshire East are now in work after Fedcap supported a local employer to become Disability Confident.

Fedcap is delivering the Inspiring Futures programme on behalf of Cheshire East Council to help people with health conditions go into voluntary and paid work. The supported employment programme finds roles that suit the needs of customers and encourages employers to create reasonable adjustments to create a more inclusive workplace and help people stay in work.

When our Occupation Inclusion Specialist Becky Smith, met Bethany and Jenny from Bright and Wonderful Care to talk about the programme and our services, it became clear that they were enthusiastic about offering inclusive adjustments for their employees. Becky encouraged Bright and Wonderful to take the next step in becoming an inclusive employer and sign up to Disability Confident Level 1.

Bright and Wonderful Care offers a variety of roles to suit different circumstances as they provide respite for families with special educational needs and comorbid conditioned children by supporting them on days out in the community, including visits to specialised fully inclusive venues and night sits when required.

Bright and Wonderful Care is now a Disability Confident Level 1 Employer offering a fully inclusive recruitment process and have placed three Inspiring Futures customers into roles with reasonable adjustments.
