About the Founder

Why I set up Pathways to Equity

I set up Pathways to Equity to offer organisations practical, joined-up support across the full EDI journey.

Organisations often need help with:

Setting a clear strategic direction

Translating values into policy and governance

Building confidence and capability through training

Embedding accessibility and inclusion into systems and processes

Pathways to Equity was created to bring these elements together - supporting organisations to develop coherent, integrated approaches rather than isolated interventions.

My experience and areas of expertise

I bring experience across strategy, policy, research, and delivery, working with organisations in education, assessment, and public sector contexts in the UK and internationally.

My work includes:

EDI and accessibility strategy development
Supporting organisations to define priorities, set realistic goals, and align equity work with wider organisational objectives.

Policy design and review
Advising on inclusive, legally informed policy frameworks that are clear, implementable, and accountable.

Training and capacity building
Designing and delivering training for senior leaders, managers, and practitioners, focused on practical application and organisational impact.

Advisory and consultancy support
Providing ongoing guidance to teams navigating complex equity challenges, change processes, or strategic decisions.

Accessibility and inclusive practice
Supporting organisations to embed accessibility into design, delivery, and decision-making, rather than treating it as an afterthought.

My academic background in policy, law, and critical approaches to equity underpins all of my work, ensuring that practice is informed by evidence and grounded in wider social and organisational contexts.

How I work with organisations

My approach is:

Collaborative - working in partnership with teams and stakeholders

Evidence-informed - drawing on research, policy, and data

Context-sensitive - recognising organisational culture and constraints

Practical - focused on actions that can be implemented and sustained

I tailor my work to each organisation, supporting leaders and teams to build inclusive practices that fit their context and evolve over time.

Pathways to Equity in practice

Through strategy, policy, training, and advisory services, Pathways to Equity supports organisations to:

Clarify their approach to equity and inclusion

Strengthen governance and accountability

Build internal capability and confidence

Embed accessibility and inclusive practice across systems

My aim is to help organisations create environments where inclusion is not an initiative, but a way of working.
