A success story

Employer success story.

Get Set for Work supports Branching Out in achieving Disability Confident Committed status.

Get Set for Work | 23 July 2024

Georgie Shields, Manager of Branching Out, attended our Mental Health First Aid training course offered free as part of our Get Set for Work programme. Georgie wanted to demonstrate Branching Out’s commitment to supporting the mental wellbeing of their employees and creating a positive workplace culture.

Working together, Amy McManus, Get Set for Work Employer Consultant, and Georgie began registering Branching Out as a Disability Confident Employer. After completing an Organisation Needs Assessment, Georgie and her team took a great step towards addressing Branching Out’s strengths and areas for development. This allowed Georgie to tailor the workplace to provide better support for individuals with learning disabilities or difficulties and demonstrates its ongoing commitment to providing equal opportunities and support for all employees, regardless of disability.

“Georgie and the Branching Out team’s dedication to providing positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities is truly commendable. Their commitment to continuous learning and development reflects their proactive approach to creating an inclusive workplace environment. By investing in training and development, Georgie and the team not only enhance their own knowledge and skills but also empower themselves to better support individuals with disabilities within the organisation.”

Amy McManus, Get Set for Work Employer Consultant

“I really appreciate the support offered by the Get Set for Work programme, especially the help Amy has been giving with becoming disability confident and offering training opportunities. I am very thankful to Amy and the Get Set UK team, this goes a long way in helping with the further development of Branching Out and community activities.”
