Disability Equality Training

In this comprehensive disabled-led training with Birds of Paradise, you will learn about what actively disables people, explore disability from a cultural context, and gain the skills and confidence to create a more inclusive and accessible environment in whatever you do.

This training is underpinned by an extensive knowledge of equality and access within the sector as well as the wider context of how we view disability and think about equality within society.

Disabled people continue to experience significant barriers in the culture sector and elsewhere. This training offers a relaxed way to gain the skills and confidence to remove these barriers. The knowledge, skills and tools you gain during the session will apply across all areas of your work and motivate you to make a positive change.

What will you learn?

In this three hour session you will learn about:

• Cultural representation: how disability is viewed and its impact

• Models of disability

• Legislation & activism: where we’ve been and how we got here

• Language around disability

• Access requirements and removing barriers

Who is it for?

Anyone who would like to learn more about disability equality, and create more inclusive, accessible environments within their work.
