Disability Confident Communications

This training session provides you with the knowledge, skills and tools to be able to confidently communicate with employees, students and other stakeholders with disability. The session provides a greater awareness of what disability is; and gives you confidence to use the right language and support you to understand the value of inclusive behaviours and attitudes. The interactive delivery style provides skills and knowledge to confidently communicate with people with disability, while providing an understanding of accessibility and inclusion in the workplace and learning environment.

This session open to all UNSW students and staff.

Training is provided by the Australian Network on Disability, of which UNSW is a member.
