Alliance for Inclusion

About Us

Founded by Allan MacKillop and Ian George, Alliance for Inclusion is committed to empower and support organisations to develop forward thinking strategies to achieve full inclusion for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent (DDN) people.
With 30 years of combined experience and expertise in designing and implementing disability strategy and as passionate advocates for both the social and human rights models of disability, we have seen the vast benefits to businesses when disability is understood and supported correctly.

The problem

As experienced disability strategists, we have identified a shift away from the support of disability via specialist inclusion roles to a more generalist-based approach.
We feel this will inadvertently create a skills gap within business, which if not supported, will lead to inconsistent experiences for DDN staff, clients and customers across all sectors.

We are currently offering a free business health check to identify and advise on solving strategic gaps
