The Disability Positive Training and Accreditation seminar aims to enhance the awareness, confidence and competence of employees in relation to Disability Positive Practice for disabled colleagues and service users. It is a four-hour session and covers the following issues in relation to both employment and services:

• Recognising and Overcoming Barriers
• Disability Discrimination Legislative Context
• Disability Positive Language
• Disability Positive Practice – physical disability, learning disabilities, mental health issues, neurodivergence, blind/sight loss, deaf/hearing loss
• Valuing and Celebrating Individuals

It is a very practical and interactive seminar. A voluntary, confidential assessment can be undertaken immediately following the seminar.  Those individuals  who achieve a score of 75% or more are accredited as Disability Positive.  This accreditation lasts for five years.  Each person who is accredited receives a Disability Positive logo for their personal use, e.g. on their email signature.
