“I have really enjoyed the training today and have gained a great deal of things to think about and to apply to the organisation. It all made a lot of sense and was very thought provoking.” (A Participant, 2006)

The training consists of a half day Disability Equality course, which can be combined, with an half-day Autism Awareness course. It is a practical fun activity based day in a relaxed atmosphere employing quizzes, model making, role playing, brainstorming, case studies and scenario discussions.
