Disability Awareness & Inclusion Training is now live!

Posted 3 years ago

We are pleased to announce that our Disability Awareness & Inclusion Training is now live, just in time for National Inclusion Week!

The aim of this course is to provide more in-depth knowledge about the equal opportunities those with disabilities should be given, how both visible and invisible disabilities might impact someone’s working life, and what you can do to make sure that people with disabilities are given equal consideration and fair access to the same opportunities as people without disabilities. There are more than 14 million people with disabilities in the UK, which means it’s very likely that we all know someone with a disability.

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with global EDI experts and actors with real-life disabilities to help bring this course to life.

By the end of this training, users will:

Understand how visible and invisible disabilities can affect people in & out of work
Understand how the law protects people with disabilities from discrimination
Learn what support, practices, and policies should be in place in your workplace
Know how each employee can make sure people with disabilities are given equal consideration and fair access to the same opportunities as those without disabilities
The course also includes an insightful interview with one of our actors, Holly, who has a disability, about her past experiences

This course can be completed in just 55 minutes and is Citation Approved.
