Disability TrainingBascule Disability Training, was founded by Chris Jay. Chris
is a recognised and prominent voice on the topic of disability awareness. Born
with cerebral palsy, Chris has been a wheelchair user for over 20 years, and is
an accomplished training facilitator, public speaker, guest spokesperson and
writer on the topic of disability awareness. Prior to launching Bascule
Disability Training, Chris worked as a Training Facilitator and Project Manager
for the disability awareness charity- Enable Me, where he developed and
delivered training programmes for businesses, universities and schools. He was
later appointed as the Executive Chairman of the charity for three years where
he steered the organisation back to its core mission of helping to raise
awareness of disability in local, educational and business communities. His role
as a Disability Awareness Trainer has allowed him to develop considerable
knowledge and experience in assisting and supporting businesses and universities
to develop organisational awareness through unique and bespoke training
packages. He has worked with various organisations in numerous areas of business
such as the banking and finance sector, (including Coutts Bank) and in the
retail, education and the hospitality industry (including Brighton, Portsmouth
and Southampton Universities). His support and staff development programmes,
interactive modules and workshops have provided workforces with a firmer
understanding of disability and its organisational benefits. Based in
Southampton, Chris is a Director of Great Ballard School, near Chichester- an
Independent co-educational prep school. He is also a Freeman of the City of
London through the Worshipful Company of Educators and a member of the Chartered
