Did you know that people are much more likely to buy from businesses who act socially responsible?

In addition, studies from Australia and around the world consistently show that businesses that embrace inclusivity and diversity in the workplace are more innovative, have higher-performing teams, and are much more attractive to new recruits.

As an inclusive employer, we know you already know this; we thought, however, we’d help you share this information with your customers and the community by providing you with this promotional toolkit providing everything you need to start promoting the good work you are doing.

If you have any questions or would like further information about how you can promote your partnership with STEPS, please don’t hesitate to contact us at communications@stepsgroup.com.au

COMMUNICATION NOTES

When you are writing the word STEPS, please use capitals at all times.

STEPS is committed to promoting inclusive communities and reducing the stigma associated with disability. We believe that no one should be defined by their disability but by their individual personality, experiences, skills and values.

When writing or talking about people with a disability, we ask that you be mindful not to use terminology that may offend. The correct term for people with a disability is people with a disability. You may also use someone with a disability or someone with a disability.

Terms to avoid include:

Disabled person/people
Mental or physical disabilities (avoid categorising disabilities, including descriptions such as Down syndrome, Schizophrenia, Blind, etc.)
They/them describe people with a disability as a group
Special
Handicapped
Disadvantaged
Less fortunate
Comparisons to “normal” people

Any other terms that may be considered insulting, condescending or patronising, or add to stigma.
