Your constituency work is already funded to use WelcoMe

Every constituency has 11,000+ disabled constituents. The Scottish Government has already funded WelcoMe for every MSP office — the procurement is complete, so there's nothing to tender and nothing to sign off. Sign up your team in 10 minutes; we invoice, it's forwarded to Scottish Government finance, and nothing comes out of your office budget.

Your office may already be failing disabled constituents — without knowing it

16% of your constituents have a disability. Many have already stopped trying to engage — not because they don't need their MSP, but because an inaccessible surgery venue or a staff member who didn't know how to help told them, in effect, that this isn't for them. You rarely hear about it: the complaint isn't made, the caseworker is mid-rota, the person simply doesn't come back.

This is also a legal duty, not goodwill. The Equality Act 2010 requires your office to make reasonable adjustments for disabled constituents, and Scotland is committed to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

Three tools, one platform

Built for the person actually running the office — managing part-time rotas, booking a different surgery venue most weeks, fielding calls with no context on who's phoning. WelcoMe gives your team the training, preparation, and data to serve every constituent with confidence.

🎓

Staff Training

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

Condition-specific training: autism, sight loss, hearing, mobility, mental health
Caseworker scenarios: phone calls, surgeries, handling distress
Rolling enrolment for new staff
Completion tracking and certification
5–15 minute modules that fit around casework and part-time rotas
🔑

Works wherever you work

A constituency office isn't desk-bound — a different surgery venue most weeks, part-time staff on rota, calls with no context on the caller. WelcoMe goes where your team goes.

Training that actually sticks

Traditional one-off awareness training loses 80% of its effectiveness within weeks. WelcoMe uses spaced repetition — short 5–15 minute modules delivered over time — so your team builds lasting confidence around casework and part-time rotas.

Core Awareness

Social model of disability. Language. Attitudes. The fundamentals every caseworker needs.

Assistance Dogs

Legal rights. Practical handling. Supporting guide dog and assistance dog owners.

Autism & Neurodivergence

Sensory considerations. Communication approaches. Reducing overwhelm.

Sight Loss

Guiding technique. Document formats. Technology and communication.

Hearing Loss & Deafness

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

Mental Health

Recognising distress. Supporting constituents in crisis. Appropriate boundaries.
