Description
Enabling people to move from disability awareness to disability confidence is an important part of building an inclusive workplace and improving customer service.
Would staff in your organisation know the right way to deal with a customer or colleague who has a physical or visual impairment, or has mental health issues? Would they be able to deal with them comfortably and confidently, or would they feel awkward or embarrassed and be afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing?
This course combines original drama with powerful personal testimony from people with a range of disabilities and insight from the experts to show the practical steps you need to take in order to provide effective service for disabled customers and support disabled colleagues and staff.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to be able to communicate more effectively and improve their interactions with disabled staff and customers.
