Disability responsiveness training
If you would like to provide disability responsiveness training to people in your organisation - the following is an example of such training.
The training should be delivered by someone who has a lived experience of disability and is knowledgable about the modern conceptual understanding of disability.
The training aims to get the audience to understand their own values and how they impact on decisions to employ disabled people.
If you do not have someone in your agency who would be comfortable delivering disability responsiveness training, there are organisations that can provide it, such as CCS Disability Action .
