Disability Awareness Course
What will I learn?
Improve your social work practice with our Disability Awareness Training Programme. It's made to give you the skills you need to support people with disabilities and understand their needs well. You'll learn how to talk to people properly, how to make plans to support them, and how to help them speak up for themselves. You'll also find out how to use social services, where to find help, and how to work with other groups in the community. You'll become good at removing things that stop people with disabilities from doing things and understanding their rights in the law. You'll get better at telling people about disability issues and getting them involved, so our community becomes more welcoming for everyone.
