ILS Consultation Services

What is 'consultation'?

For ILS, consultation means asking disabled people's views on what you're doing. Most public bodes have a legal duty to consult with disabled people. But there are big benefits for the private and voluntary sectors, too. Consulting effectively with disabled people can greatly enhance your reputation with both your disabled and non-disabled customers and employees.

When would I want to consult?

That depends on you! You might want to launch a new service and involve disabled people from the outset to help scope the project. Or you might know what you want to do, but need to check whether disabled people will be happy with the service - it's more efficient to check first than having to change something once it's been established. Or you might want to evaluate your current services to see what you do well and where there's room for improvement.

How can ILS help?

We co-ordinate consultation with disabled people.

You might want us to consult on your behalf with a group of people you've already chosen. You might want to take our advice before consulting people yourself. Or you might want us to pull together a group of disabled people to test your ideas on. ILS is a membership organisation and we have disabled members who welcome the chance to help shape or change services for the future.

Why not contact us to discuss your requirements further? We'd be delighted to help.
