Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) (1 day)
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to the CRPD. It discusses the background and the development of the convention, looking at disability from a human rights context. It then guides participants in detail through the rights enshrined in the Convention, the practicalities of upholding these rights and how to make a complaint under the CRPD.
Responding to Sexual Assault (2 days)
This course is essential for anyone working with people with intellectual disability. We explore the myths and facts surrounding sexual assault and examine the reasons why men and women with intellectual disability experience much higher rates of sexual assault than people without disability.
Disability Awareness
An introductory course on disability awareness. This is a flexible training package made up of core and optional supplementary modules. Core modules explore the concept of disability, its definitions and the myths and facts surrounding it, as well as respectful language and communication. Supplementary modules include components customised to the needs of your organisation to incorporate information, case scenarios and examples applicable to your work.
