Better Together: Access 2 Work

Better Together #9: Access to Work

Join Cathy Waller, of Decode, a programme supporting the arts & culture sector to better understand Access to Work.

When: Wednesday 8 January
Where: Online
Cost: Free

Bi-monthly Better Together sessions are framed by a different urgent topic that is relevant to the East and West Midlands and wider arts and culture sector.

For Better Together #9: Access to Work CVAN will be joined by Cathy Waller, co-founder of Decode, a programme created in collaboration with Disability Arts Online that supports the arts and culture sector to better understand and utilise Access to Work.

Access to Work is a grant that helps to create a more accessible work environment by providing financial support to remove barriers that disabled people face in undertaking paid employment.

In this session, Cathy Waller will tell you all about how Access to Work can support people working in the Arts and Culture Sector. She’ll demystify the application process and provide top tips on getting access support in place to assist staff and freelancers.

Better Together sessions take place online and offer an opportunity for change makers in the East and West Midlands to connect. CVAN particularly encourage attendance from directors, trustees and programme leads and welcome participants to share with the group current challenges that their organisation is facing, helping establish a supportive space for shared learning and development.

Sessions last only 1-hour and prioritise time for open discussion.
