Helping organisations access talent & insights of people from non-privileged backgrounds Does your organisation need to reach outside the ‘metropolitan middle-class bubble’ when recruiting and developing its people or when engaging with others? Is your organisation: • Inadvertently preventing talented people from unprivileged backgrounds from joining you, realising their full potential, or feeling confident talking about the insights their background has given them? • Struggling to engage unprivileged people as clients, collaborators or participants? • Vulnerable to accusations of being out of touch? • Unsure how to assess the issue, let alone tackle it? I’m a published expert on social mobility and widening participation. For over 20 years, my career has involved expanding participation, particularly among under-represented groups. I also have experience of working with senior decision makers in private, public and voluntary sectors and with national and local politicians and policymakers Above all, my experience stems from ‘having been there’, as a senior manager, but most of all as someone from a working-class family who has encountered the challenges of working in or with 'middle-class' organisations. I use my experience and expertise to help organisations to unleash the talent and insights of people from non-privileged backgrounds.
