Co-design
Hemma is designed with people of determination, not just for them. They shape what we build, and they check how well we do it.
Every Hemma activity is co-designed with people of determination and disability associations [partners to confirm].
An advisory group that includes people of determination reviews our work [to form].
Disability association partners

You decide what to share. Adjustments need no reason, and we delete them after use.
We will contact you the way you chose, to talk about the track that fits you.
If you told us about adjustments, we use that only to prepare, then we delete it.
