About the Workshop

Delivered by the Disability Federation of Ireland, this highly participatory workshop has been co-created with individuals who have lived experience of disability and is facilitated by qualified trainers.

Participants will gain a deeper insight into inclusive practice and explore how to create accessible and welcoming environments for employees, customers, and community members.

Key topics covered will include:

• Understanding Disability

• Legal and Ethical Responsibilities

• Effective Communication

• Reasonable Adjustments

• Accessibility

• Challenging Stereotypes and Biases

• Practical & Inclusive Practices
