With its focus on Disability Equality Theory, the Medical & Social Model of disability, this programme gives participants an opportunity to think about how they may be able to tackle disability discrimination within their professional roles. Because Disability Equality promotes a community response, it is highly effective in helping teams to enable the fuller participation of whole communities thereby including disabled people. This session should help people understand of the specific character of disablism and the need for positive action. The session helps people consider small changes in operational activity such as removing the barriers in order to reduce marginalisation. The programme also helps people consider the broader systemic issues, giving participants an insight into the strategic imperatives linked to ethical commitment.
