WOM is a multidisciplinary, peer-led consultancy where every member is a seasoned expert by experience in disability, neurodiversity, care, mental health, education, law, AI tech, psychology, psychiatry and social work – all work exclusively in lived advocacy shaped by their own life experiences.
We’ve shaped national policy, advised directly at ministerial levels, local government, health, social and educational sectors and delivered outcomes across multiple disciplines. We’re not tokenistic—we are the source; deeply familiar with the barriers and solutions that matter because we have lived them, and we work to remove them in our own lives and in others’. We aim to lift you to the top of your game in inclusivity and diversity policies and actions.
Why Choose WOM?
Led by Lived Experience:
Your project, policy, or audit is always led—not just informed—by lived experience consultants with intersectional expertise across multiple fields and sectors. Let us show you how we live with disability, not just talk about it.
Polyphonic Expertise:
Our team combines insights from disabled professionals, public sector advisors, community legal support, human rights advocates, blind and deaf consultants, ND inclusion specialists, physical and mental health specialists, home sector high intensity carers, and more, to offer comprehensive solutions—even for those challenges nobody else has seen.
We attend to future considerations around inclusive and responsible AI with an in-house team who are the forerunners in their field. Let them design and advise on the possibilities of the future of inclusion.
Authenticity Guaranteed:
We curate our everyday knowledge and extensive disability networks into operational standards that align with UK and international ND and disability compliance, meeting and exceeding all required benchmarks. This is not lip service, this is full and total inclusion.
