Disability awareness training
Bespoke training courses for you and your team
What is disability awareness training?
With 50 years’ experience of leading the way in accessible outdoor adventure, Calvert Lakes is a unique not-for-profit charity based in the stunning Lake District. We help people of all ages with a range of disabilities overcome challenges and experience the benefit of the great outdoors.
As we move towards more inclusive and representative workplaces and environments, we are delighted to introduce Calvert Lakes’ Disability Awareness and Inclusion training for organisations.
As a forward-thinking organisation with accessibility and inclusion at the heart of what we do, we help businesses embrace and cater for a diverse workforce, allowing your people to shine and your business to thrive. In return, you’ll be supporting a well-established, life-changing British charity that truly cares about the needs of others.
What's included?
A classroom-based morning exploring the definition of disability, terminology and language, models of disability, communication, disability and inclusion in the workplace – including an overview of the latest legislation and barriers to participation.
Lunch is followed by an inclusive activity that reinforces the morning’s learning, putting theories into practice and bringing disability awareness to life. It may be canoeing on Bassenthwaite, our exhilarating high ropes course or if the weather doesn’t play ball – climbing in the sports hall.
