ELEN Network (Online) Jan 2026

Embedding effective Equality Impact Assessments to change culture

We are delighted to welcome Claudia Trott, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. They will be sharing with us, the work they have been doing to include a trackable Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) system into their business as usual, and will share with us how this has improved disability inclusion within their service. We shall get a demo of the trackable system, and we shall also have time for questions.

Two minds – one mission

We are delighted to welcome Colin Richards and Superintendent Darren Deexs from Essex Police. They will be sharing with us, the journey they’ve been on to embed disability inclusion within Essex Police. They will talk us through, by how working together, to their strengths, they have been able to assemble an active, and engaged accessibility working group, that have gained Disability Confident Leader status.
