“... the law is by no means clear - and is unlikely to be so for some years to come ... companies that take a proactive approach fare better than those that bury their heads in the sand and wait to see whether they will be on the wrong end of a writ”

The ‘Disability in the Workplace’ Professionals Forum

Nimbus are introducing a web based forum from which all professionals involved in any aspect of work which is effected by disability legislation to can share their experiences.

At the moment anybody can read messages on the forum but you need to be a member to post (free and easy - you just need a google account which takes 2 mins to set up). If members decide they would like a more secure forum this can be arranged.

Sign up today, have your say on the forum structure, the legislation, good practice, anything that takes your fancy.

 

The Equality Bill

2010 is going to see the launch of a new piece of equality legislation designed to 'harmonise' all of the separate equality legislation which has been in place over the years. The Equality Bill is working it's way through parliament as we speak and it's expected to have quite a profound impact on businesses.

                   

In preparation for the Bill becoming law Nimbus is preparing a briefing which will give an overview of the equality bill and a more in depth look at your obligations around disability which has it's own very special requirements as opposed to other equality strands.

 

At this stage we're asking organisations to register their interest in attending and what they'd like to see included so that we can gauge the content and delivery. The training will be later in the year and if you do book on a session, your registered interest will give you a priority booking and a discount on the full cost. We'll also add you to a separate electronic mailing list to receive updates on the progress of the bill.

 

To register interest please email us via this link or get in touch by any of our other contact methods

New Premises / Website

Welcome to the new look ask-nimbus.com. To celebrate our move to Pride Park we thought we'd have a bit of a 'spring clean' and provide you with a cleaner, crisper version of the website.

You will still be able to find out about our fantastic range of training sessions and auditing services via these pages, sign up for the newsletter or request a free no obligation written quote.

Our move to Pride Park has also meant that we have brand new contact details, but most excitingly a brand new, custom designed training / meeting room. The room obviously features all of the accessibility features you would expect for an organisation such as ours, but we've designed it with comfort in mind.

The room is available for rent so if you're looking for an accessible meeting venue don't look any further:

The room comfortably seats 16 people in boardroom style – theatre style seating easily fits 30.
