Skill Boosters – Disability Confidence (Full Course)

Despite progress in raising awareness about disability and long term health conditions, there remains a gap between our policies and everyday practical application. This course is designed to normalise disability in our places of work and in our businesses, in order that learners can act and communicate with confidence to offer a truly inclusive experience whether they're engaging with customers, clients or colleagues.

• The key stereotypes and assumptions that create attitudinal barriers
