Disability Dynamics are running some workshops in Chesterfield about working with people with long-term health conditions and disabilities. Tuesday 29th June, 13.00 to 16.00 and Wednesday 30th June, 10.00 to 13.00.

These are short but practical workshops that will be invaluable for any person or organisation that is helping their local community.  Meeting the needs of people with long-term health conditions or disabilities need not be difficult or expensive.  The straightforward approach and information helps de-mystify the law and shows how your organisation can reach every part of the community.

The workshops will cover:

  • Fun and interactive learning exercises.
  • Disability etiquette guide.
  • Accessible communications handbook.
  • Accessible events checklist.
  • Introduction to self-employment.
  • A simple model for any disability issue.
  • Understanding of who is protected by the law.
  • Update on Equality Act 2010.
  • Explanation of unlawful conduct.
  • Practical approach to reasonable adjustments.

 

The workshops are aimed at anyone who delivers services to the public - whether voluntary or charitable activities, private or public sectors.

The workshops will be held at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield on:

29 June - 1300 - 1600 or 30 June - 1000 - 1300.

Tea and coffee will be provided plus a full set of handouts.

There is no charge for the workshops which are funded by the Chesterfield Borough Council Working Neighbourhoods Fund.
