Two companies · One purpose

Building careers. Building communities.

Frameworks is two separate companies sharing a building, a team and a purpose. One does commercial H&S training and consultancy. The other runs cohort programmes for people too often left out, and delivers training that counts toward contractors' social value commitments.

Proud to partner with employers, training providers and community organisations

Frameworks Social Enterprise CIC runs cohort programmes for people too often left out, and delivers training that contractors can put toward their social value commitments.

Two separate businesses with the same owners, sharing a building, a team and a network.

  • Commercial H&S training and consultancy via the Training arm
