The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the cost of living and is currently £12.60 per hour and £13.85 per hour in London. Accredited Living Wage Employers choose to pay the rate to directly employed staff, as well as regularly contracted third-party staff.

You can find out more about becoming a Living Wage Employer on the Living Wage Foundation’s website and make use of the NHS toolkit for information specific to health employers, case studies and more. If you would like to talk to a member of the Living Wage Foundation team about joining the Living Wage movement, please email bethan.spacey@livingwage.org.uk.

Being more inclusive is often a lot easier than we think, don’t believe me? Well just try our FREE training workshop and see for yourself.

Our FREE Deaf Awareness training is a great opportunity for you and your staff to break down the barriers that most deaf people face by developing Deaf Awareness and accessibility.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO BE DEAF AWARE?

Being deaf aware is a great way to promote inclusion and improve access for all deaf people and those with a hearing loss.
Our workshop will introduce the issues and barriers faced by deaf people and in turn highlight strategies to improve your understanding of the challenges facing Deaf people.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT ME?
EDS aims to ensure all participants gain the best experience possible to support them in understanding Deaf Awareness.
Participants will come away with easy to remember communication tips and some basic knowledge of some British Sign Language all of which can be instantly put to use in their workplace improving support to those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
This will ensure more effective communication with colleagues, customers and service users who are affected with a hearing loss, in activities and everyday situations.
WHO ARE EMPOWERING DEAF SOCIETY?
We are a deaf-led Charity based in East London, dedicated to improving the quality of life for deaf people. Our aim is to ensure that the standards of Access improve for deaf people. Access to information, justice and knowledge is key for any society to succeed.
We work with local community services and businesses to raise awareness about the Deaf community, focusing on social integration and improving communication and understanding between the two cultures of the deaf and hearing communities
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR TRAINING WORKSHOP
Our Deaf Awareness training consists of two one hour Zoom sessions.
The first part consists of a one-hour presentation, introducing the issues and barriers faced by deaf people and in turn highlighting strategies to improve your understanding of the challenges deaf people face everyday in order to improve your communication skills with colleagues, customers and service users who are affected with a hearing loss.
This will then be followed by another one hour zoom session giving you an Introduction to British Sign Language Skills to use when communicating with the Deaf Community.
These sessions can be booked to run concurrently or split over different times and days.

Learning to Advise Course for social prescribing link workers and similar roles.

Over recent years your feedback and reporting have shown that a significant proportion of social prescribing clients and those with mental health issues have issues with housing, welfare benefits claims, debt, cost of living, immigration and similar issues.
This free training has been designed to equip social prescribing link workers and similar roles in North East London with detailed knowledge of these issues, how to ask clients about them, understand the implications and how to support clients to access the right support and advice in their borough.
The course is studied over 12 half and full day on-line and in-person sessions between September 25 and February 26, with a time commitment of approx. 2 days a month.
The Learning to Advise course opens a career pathway to an enhanced social prescribing role with a specialism in social welfare advice, through the option of studying a follow-on training in 2026, which consists NVQ level 3 in Advice and Guidance with a training placement.
