Disability Confidence and Awareness e-learning

Our Disability Confidence and Awareness e-learning course will enable you to confidently interact with people with disabilities and offer assistance when needed.

Let’s be clear, people with disabilities are just regular individuals – family members, friends, service users, professionals, colleagues, managers and customers.

Many people feel awkward when communicating and assisting people with disabilities as they don’t want to offend so may just ignore the person or panic.

Most people have good intentions and really want to get things right, so we’ve developed this interactive and engaging online course that will leave you feeling confident, empowered and motivated when it comes to interacting with people with disabilities.

There are over 13 million people currently living in the UK with a disability so let’s break down those barriers together!

We’ll help you answer these questions and many others…

• Will I cause offence if I offer help to a person with a disability?                                         
• Is it okay to use words like ‘see, hear and walk’?
• Can I ask someone about their condition?
• What is reasonable in relation to reasonable adjustments?
• How much is an employee with a disability going to cost my business?
• How should I communicate appropriately?
• Why don’t many people with disabilities apply for our vacancies or use our facilities?
