Coming soon: Disability Awareness and Equality & Diversity Awareness programmes

Added on 25 January 2010


Disability Awareness

With 1 in 5 people now having some kind of a disability, you are likely to know someone either in your own family, in your workplace or in your child‟s school who has a known condition such as Cerebral Palsy, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia or Autism.

Indeed, with roughly 18% of the work force now recognised as having a disability, coupled with changes in legislation, it is important to make your workforce aware of the potential individual needs of colleagues and employees.

Participating in this workshop, you will learn about some of the issues that you may face in the workplace relating to disability. Through discussion and the development of ideas and knowledge, you will be able to form strategies that can be used to assist visitors or work colleagues that have particular difficulties. The course will also highlight some of the stigmas faced by disabled people and underpin why it is important to identify and support people in the workplace.


Equality & Diversity Awareness

Working in industry, commerce or in education, you will constantly come across the term "Equality and Diversity".

We now work in a diverse society, where we are constantly confronted with images, stories and questions about our views towards religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation or race.

Through this workshop, you will learn about some of the issues that you may encounter in the workplace in relation to equality and diversity. You will also develop new skills and knowledge that can be put into practice by yourself or with your team to support and promote working with different groups in society, as well as improving equality and diversity within in your own work environment.
