23 October 2026

How can we create more opportunities for young people to thrive in the workplace?

In the first episode of Access All Areas: The Inclusion Podcast, we’re joined by Leanne Hirst and Sarah Palmer to explore how DFN Project Search is opening doors for young people, building confidence and helping them take their first steps into the world of work.

From overcoming barriers and to celebrating life-changing achievements, we explore the power of inclusion, the importance of believing in yourself and why the right support can make all the difference.

Whether you’re a young person thinking about your next steps, a parent or carer, or simply passionate about creating a more inclusive future, this conversation is worth hearing.

Access All Areas: The Inclusion Podcast is a series dedicated to shining a spotlight on the support services, opportunities and people making a difference, helping to break down barriers and create a more inclusive community.
