Disabled constituents face barriers engaging with their representatives

Inaccessible surgeries. Staff unsure how to help. No way to share access needs in advance. No preparation for phone calls, events, or meetings. These are not edge cases โ€” they affect thousands of people in every constituency in Scotland.

Three tools, one platform

WelcoMe gives your team the training, preparation, and data to serve every constituent with confidence.

๐ŸŽ“

Staff Training

Short, scenario-based modules designed for caseworkers. Built on spaced repetition so part-time staff actually retain what they learn.

โœ“Condition-specific training: autism, sight loss, hearing, mobility, mental health
โœ“Caseworker scenarios: phone calls, surgeries, handling distress
โœ“Rolling enrolment for new staff
โœ“Completion tracking and certification
โœ“5-10 minute modules that fit around real work
๐Ÿ”‘

WelcoMe Key

Constituents share their access requirements once. The information follows them wherever they engage with you โ€” office, surgery, event, or parliament.

โœ“Constituent shares needs before surgery appointments
โœ“Event mode: QR code on marketing, attendees share needs in advance
โœ“Works across all your locations, not just one office
โœ“Phone and video call preparation
โœ“Constituent controls what they share, always
๐Ÿ“Š

Constituency Insights

Understand the accessibility landscape of your constituency. Anonymised data you can use in debates, committees, and constituent communications.

โœ“Most common access requirements in your area
โœ“Engagement tracking: disabled constituents reached
โœ“Training compliance dashboard
โœ“Evidence base for parliamentary questions
โœ“Benchmarking against other MSP offices

Works wherever you work

MSPs are not desk-bound. WelcoMe goes where you go.

Assistance Dogs

Autism & Neurodivergence

Guiding technique. Document formats. Technology and communication.

Hearing Loss & Deafness

10 min

BSL awareness. Lip reading tips. Loop systems. Phone alternatives.

Mental Health

12 min
