“Really well-judged and facilitated session. Trainer was excellent.”
Our Disability and Inclusion training serves as an introduction for arts and culture organisations that want to develop confidence, understanding and receive practical tools and advice in relation to disability and access. Through structured reflection and exercises, participants will be supported to identify practices and processes they can put in place, and develop an up-to-date familiarity with best practice in relation to disability.
