This training with Birds of Paradise 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.

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.

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
