Disability rights workshop

This online workshop will look at disability discrimination using a number of case studies from employment, housing and more. This training is being delivered by Adam Matthews from Society Matters CIC, and is for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations serving Gateshead only.

This session would benefit those working in a range of different roles but is particularly relevant to you if your organisation supports people with long-term physical and mental health conditions and disabilities, and strives to challenge disability discrimination in any form.

The workshop will cover:

• What is disability discrimination and how does it affect people?
• What is classed as a ‘disability’ in the UK and what support is available?
• How disability discrimination fits into the Equality Act
• The difference between harassment, direct and indirect discrimination
• Support available for people who have been affected by disability discrimination.
