PurpleSpace Resources

Learning & Development

The PurpleSpace resources are an exclusive suite of insight publications, briefings and templates that bring something new to the table.


Our unique and extensive contact with Disabled Employee Network and Employee Resource Group leaders means that we are close to their challenges and so can create practical resources that help drive culture change on disability. All resources are free to our members and some are freely available to anyone interested in tips for building disability confidence from the inside out.
