Why is this Masterclass important?

An inclusive site is one that can be used easily and safely by everyone, in a way that maintains their dignity. It ensures that, wherever possible, buildings and spaces are appropriate for diverse needs and accessible to all, behaviours are respectful and a culture is established so that everyone knows how to practice Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in their daily working lives. It goes beyond a compliance approach to ensure that everyone working on, communicating with, or visiting the site are treated with fairness, inclusion and respect.

This Masterclass will be delivered live online. We will contact you with joining instructions at least 24 hours before it starts.

What will we cover?

This Masterclass will set out the benefits of an inclusive site and will take participants through each stage of the process with clear guidance. It will be backed up by case studies and examples of industry good practice. It is relevant to all size and type of site.
