Upcoming Independent Lives training and events

Postcards from Disability Pride Worthing - now available to order

This June, Independent Lives held creative workshops online and in the Worthing area, giving participants the opportunity to share their experiences and creativity with the local community.

The words and stories shared as part of these workshops have been created into postcards, designed in collaboration with Independent Lives.

These free postcards are available to collect at various Worthing retailers and venues from July 2023 while stocks last, and for delivery to your home.

Value based recruitment sessions

Earlier this year, Skills for Care ran sessions on 'Value based recruitment'.

Values based recruitment is an approach which attracts and recruits employees on the basis that their individual values and behaviours align with your values.

This should take place as part of existing recruitment processes which assess aptitude and skills.

The purpose of our values based recruitment is to ensure that employers recruit the right workforce not only with the right skills, but with the right values.

The Government has announced plans to close nearly every railway ticket office in England. But what does this mean for disabled people, and how can you have your say on the changes?

Our comms volunteer Sarah has been investigating.
