Suffolk Growth and AccessAble Disability Essentials E-Learning
Suffolk Growth and disability organisation AccessAble have developed an E-learning programme that businesses can access for free.
It is a practical, engaging course that will give people the knowledge and skills to provide a great service to disabled people and carers. Disability impacts 1 in 4 households and disabled people spend £274 billion in the UK each year.
Whether you run a business or just want to learn more about disability awareness, the training will give you the essential information that you need.
The training consists of 5 modules:
- What is disability
- Disability equality and the law
- Types of impairments
- Providing a good service
- Language
