Welcome to VERCIDA website.
Skip to main contentThe Capita Ability Network (CAN) is led by and is for colleagues whose lives are affected in any way by disability, including neurodiversity and long-term health conditions. The aim of the group is to remove the stigma surrounding disability in the workplace and provide a supportive place for colleagues to share their experiences and learn from one another. We strive to create better outcomes for all employees with a disability (or long-term health condition), and those who support them, whether personally and professionally.
What do we do?
As a network, we lead by example – sharing personal stories about our own experiences with the wider networks and community at Capita. We’re helping to create a community who can support the development of appropriate interventions and better support employees affected by disabilities. Our network offers a support channel to colleagues and line managers, and we provide education and awareness opportunities across the business.
Meet the team
Our Network Chair is Damien Riley, CEO of Army Recruitment. Damian is registered disabled, a spinal cord injury survivor, and a high-functioning tetraplegic.
“Capita were unstinting in their support to me after my accident, from my early days in intensive care, right through to arranging reasonable adjustments to support my transition back to full time work. Now, I lead the Capita Ability Network, our employee network group for disabled colleagues and their allies.”
Damien Riley, Chair of CAN
