We’re pleased to announce that 1st for Awarding is now part of the Cognassist Neuro-inclusion Charter.
The Charter shows a list of inclusive EPAOs. To gain a place on the Charter, EPAOs must have staff attend relevant training to be more aware of different learning styles and abilities, to allow us to recognise these and apply reasonable adjustments fairly.
Becky Adams, Account Manager at 1st for Awarding, said: “It’s essential for us as an EPAO to put things in place to make sure apprentices are not disadvantaged during their EPA. This acknowledges that everyone is different but allows everyone the same opportunity to succeed.”
A representative of Cognassist said: “A core part of our mission at Cognassist is helping organisations understand neurodiversity, so that no one gets left behind, and organisations operate in a legally compliant framework enabling everyone to thrive.”
