Traning, Workshops and Seminars
Our training is designed for frontline staff, managers, decision makers, budget holders and strategic planners in the following two important areas:
DET-1 (First stage)
Designed to increase confidence and competence to work with disable people. We assist people to ‘unlearn’ old thinking and beliefs inherent in our society and replace them with fresh thinking inspired by the Social Model of Disability. The training provides a model of behavioural change that enables participants to shift their focus and behaviour to deliver inclusive service and employment.
DET-2 (Second stage)
Designed to implement social model practice in organisations. Participants’ learn more detail of barriers disabled people experience and identify ‘hidden’ barriers in their organisation in order to influence the implementation of change within their workplace.
Our training courses give the principles and responsibilities of the DDA/DDB & SENDA enabling employers, education & service providers to review their practice for potential discrimination; and know the changes required to meet their duties under this Act.
Learn what the Act says and what it means to comply with or fall foul of this law.
It comprises three days of formal in-class training and one-day on-site auditing plus mentoring and support post training. Delegates will gain an understanding of the Social Model and DDA, which underpin the successful outcome of an audit.
You will also use a new software audit tool, designed to produce summary and detailed reports; and accumulate a series of audits into a single management report.
Delegates will gain an understanding of the Social Model and DDA, which underpin the reason for incorporating alternative formats into mainstream activity.
Theory and practical sessions will provide opportunities to produce alternative formats and consider various strategies for implementing ‘inclusive communications’ in your organisation.
