Goss Consultancy Ltd

Goss Consultancy Ltd works across the creative and cultural sector to support organisations to devise, develop and implement effective access & inclusion strategies.

At the heart of everything we do is our belief that diversity is a fact – we are all different in many ways that we can see and in even more ways that we can’t – but inclusion is an act; something that needs to be constantly on the radar and worked on to ensure that everyone really is inclusive all of the time.

As a result, inclusive practice is at the forefront of our thinking in the way we support organisations. We understand that access is multi-dimensional with the key strands being physical, digital, cultural and cognitive access. There is a fundamental difference between access and inclusion; being able to access something, and being able to effectively and appropriately engage with its content and benefit from the opportunity. We embrace equity and the need to ensure that training and services are delivered in the right way for individual delegates, and that this might require a difference in approach to ensure equality and fairness.

We pride ourselves on our positive, progressive and co-productive approach. We are open, honest and transparent in everything we do.

This means:

• Being integral – doing the right thing, at the right time
• Taking responsibility for the work we do and the way we do it
• Ensuring knowledge transfer
• Valuing other people at all times
• Supporting colleagues and clients to achieve
• Never judging

Our support include:

• Access and Inclusive Design Support
• Design appraisals
• Disability Confidence / EDI Training
• Policy Practice Reviews

• Digital inclusion
• Reasonable / Workplace adjustment support
• Stakeholder Management
• Diversity Data management

In addition to the above, our managed intersectional nationwide Experience Reality Insight Panel, made up of hundreds of people, enables policy, practice and service delivery to be informed by personal insight, professionally delivered.
