Disability Equality Training IN PERSON

Employees at all levels of your organisation probably need to be better informed about disability, including the practical issues that might arise.

Our CPD-Accredited Equality training looks at how society affects a person’s experience of their disability. You will learn how disability is a social and human rights issue, rather than a medical problem.

Disability Equality Training structure / content

Because the aim of the training is to look at disability from a human rights angle, we discuss issues like: discrimination, isolation, and how to remove barriers. We encourage participants to think about how they, personally, can help tackle these issues. Our training sessions are interactive. Participants are encouraged to engage in debate about issues.
