Welcome to The Safe Place with your host Gavin Clarke. In today's episode we hear from a disability power player Kate Nash OBE. Kate has spent her career redefining the work place for disabled people. From her time as a lobbyist for disabled rights pre the Disability Discrimination Act through to kicking off the #PurpleLightUp campaign through a single tweet.

Kate is creator & CEO of PurpleSpace (www.purplespace.org [https://www.purplespace.org/]). Established in 2015 it is the world's only leadership development membership hub for disability employee resource groups [ERG] / networks.
