Independent Lives is proud to have supported University Hospital Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSussex) in achieving Disability Confident Leader (Level 3) status. As a Disability Confident Leader ourselves, we validated UHSussex’s self-assessment, providing expert guidance, constructive feedback, and clear communication throughout the process.

This achievement underlines our commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces and supporting organisations on their Disability Confident journey.

UHSussex shared their experience:

“Working with Independent Lives to validate UHSussex’s Disability Confident Level 3 self-assessment was an incredibly positive experience. The team were friendly, approachable, and supportive throughout the process. Timelines were communicated clearly, we were kept updated throughout and Independent Lives provided extensive and valuable feedback that helped strengthen our approach. We are grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend their support to any organisation on the Disability Confident journey.”
