Purpose at Work, in partnership with NDS, offers the Right on Board Workshop.

Each participant in the workshop will also receive a comprehensive workbook to assist their learning in the workshops and as an ongoing reference point.

This workshop is being run by Dr Alan Hough and Gilbert Kruidenier of Purpose at Work, who specialise in governing and managing for human rights, quality and safeguarding. Alan combines expertise in governance with extensive knowledge of the real-world challenges of achieving quality and safeguarding in disability supports. He is a regular presenter at NDS conferences and events. Gilbert also presents at NDS events and was the author of the NDS ‘Fundamentals for Boards’ interactive resource.
