Inclusive Employers Update August 2011
From the Director

Can it be September already? We've managed to avoid that 'back to school' feeling this year by being massively busy in August. Hampshire Fire and Rescue, another new Founder Member, have commissioned a piece of work looking at inclusion in the uniformed services. The Inclusive Employers Foundation meeting was attended by representatives from the Co-op, TfL, Nomura and McDonald's and we're delighted to welcome our first charity member, Macmillan Cancer Support.

Bookings are coming in fast for our October events: our legal seminar with Beachcroft LLP has a few places left and the October Introduction to Inclusion breakfast is already fully booked but we have a new date in November, so give us a shout if you want to book.

As ever, below are some more highlights from our website: news, blogs (guest bloggers Charlotte Sweeney and Stuart McKenna this month), events and case law updates.

We look forward to hearing your views and seeing you at our events soon.
