Opening Doors was first published in early Spring 2020, just before the pandemic hit.  In June 2022, the magazine was updated and relaunched to engage employers who missed it the first time round and to highlight how the current recruitment crisis might be mitigated by considering people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). 

The original magazine was produced in partnership with the B&NES Employer Engagement Network and a forum of support agencies, employers and funders brought together by Three Ways School and the St Johns Foundation.

This edition of Opening Doors is a pilot and, as a social enterprise, Clean Slate is exploring opportunities to make future editions self-funding through sponsorship, advertising and publication in other areas of the country. (For more information on this, contact lisa.woodman@cleanslateltd.co.uk)
