Why good disability policies fail

For anyone who writes, owns or has to follow a policy

Register for this session on Luma

This is for you if

  • Your policy says one thing and the complaints say another
  • The person who wrote the policy has left and nobody is sure who owns it now
  • Frontline staff can't tell you what the policy says or where to find it
  • The same complaint keeps coming back after it was marked as resolved
  • You're about to sign off a policy and nobody has tried using it

What we'll cover

  • Why a policy that reads well still produces a bad experience
  • Who owns it once the person who wrote it has moved on
  • What testing a policy looks like, as opposed to reviewing one
  • How to write something people can follow under pressure, in thirty seconds, with a queue behind them

How it runs

Each session is an hour on Google Meet. I talk for 45 minutes and take questions for 15. Live captions are on. You join muted with your camera off. Everyone who registers gets the recording, slides and transcript afterwards, whether or not you make it. It's free and there's no pitch at the end.

If you'd rather not ask a question out loud, send it when you register and I'll cover it without naming you or your organisation.

I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice.

Bring a situation

Bring a policy you're not sure about. Send the problem when you register if you'd rather not raise it live, and I'll cover it without naming you or your organisation.
