  3. The Breaking Down Barriers Commission Launches in Westminster

Our CEO, Rob Melling and Director of Communications, Rhiannon Carss visited Westminster last week to launch the Breaking Down Barriers Commission with Justine Greening and Nick Forbes CBE .

Curtins were invited to join the coalition in recognition of our pro-social initiatives and strategic focus.

We were identified as a business that has best practice and have been invited to share our expertise to support the Commission’s mission. Together with collaborating organisations, we will focus on innovative strategies to remove barriers that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.

We're looking forward to working with the other partners to develop and shape recommendations for the next government, leading the way on removing obstacles to entering and flourishing in the world of work.
