Trivallis has achieved Disability Confident Leader status, marking an important milestone in the organisation’s ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive and accessible place to work. Papworth Trust has been proud to work with Trivallis on their journey to accreditation through our Disability Confident programme.

The Disability Confident scheme, led by the UK Government, supports employers to recruit, retain and develop disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. Leader status recognises organisations that are actively embedding inclusive practices, sharing learning, and showing leadership in removing barriers to employment. This achievement reflects the collective efforts of teams across Trivallis, from frontline services to corporate support roles, who work every day to create a culture where people feel valued, respected and supported to thrive.

Fleur Patten, Employment and Wellbeing Advisor at Papworth Trust, who supported Trivallis through the assessment process, said:

“Trivallis has demonstrated a strong and genuine commitment to inclusion. Throughout the assessment, it was clear that accessibility and wellbeing are embedded into everyday practice, with teams across the organisation taking shared responsibility for removing barriers and supporting colleagues to succeed.”

Lisa Kiddy, Head of People Services at Trivallis adds:

“We’re incredibly proud of achieving Disability Confident Leader status, it reflects the everyday commitment shown by colleagues across Trivallis. Creating an inclusive and accessible workplace isn’t the responsibility of one team; it’s about how we support each other, listen to lived experience and remove barriers wherever we can. This recognition matters to us, but even more important is that we consider this as just part of the ongoing journey in ensuring that everyone in Trivallis feels they belong and can thrive at work.”
