Disability Awareness Training

Access Into Inclusion

This outcome-focused training session introduces the foundations of general disability awareness. It’s an accessible starting point for businesses beginning their journey into disability and inclusion, or for those wanting to embed stronger values of equity and support across teams.

Disability inclusion in the workplace is about setting the right attitudes, making proactive adjustments, and creating a culture where everyone feels valued. Yet many people lack confidence when it comes to talking about disability. Not knowing what language to use, how to raise the subject, or what barriers might exist can create hesitation.

This training session builds that confidence. Delegates gain the knowledge, understanding, and practical tools to talk about disability respectfully and proactively. They leave ready to implement quick, effective adjustments that rarely cost money yet make a significant impact. Over time, disability inclusion becomes embedded as part of everyday business culture.

For teams at the beginning of this journey, the general disability awareness session works well as an onboarding resource or as a conversation starter. It helps to set a clear direction for inclusion, encouraging leaders and colleagues alike to recognise disabled talent, value diverse ways of working, and see how inclusion drives both wellbeing and performance.

Delivery Style

Sessions are immersive and interactive. Rather than relying on slides, the approach encourages genuine engagement through discussions, breakout groups, ask-and-respond moments, polls, and quizzes. This format makes learning memorable and provides a safe space to grow confidence in disability conversations.

Benchmarking Progress

Clear progress matters. Each session begins with a short set of confidence and knowledge questions. The same questions are repeated at the end, making it easy to see how awareness and confidence have grown. This ensures learning feels tangible and measurable.

Accessibility and Inclusion

Every session is designed with accessibility at its heart. From materials to facilitation, all aspects consider how disabled and non-disabled delegates will experience the training session. The aim is simple: create a space where everyone can participate fully and leave with practical, actionable next steps.
