We are pleased to welcome Ian and Sandra Atkinson of Involved & Equal to lead the next PPIE training session.

 

Session Information 

Involved and Equal CIC provide engaging training on Disability Equality and Inclusion. The theories and models of disability are delivered by disabled people who bring their own and others lived experience to give a unique perspective on the subject of Disability Equality and Inclusion.

 

The event will cover points such as ‘What is Disability?’ and what it means to be disabled, to be discriminated against. The inequalities that disabled people face and how that impacts on disabled people and their families.
