Quality Disability Support Workshop Series
Event description
Sparked by the peer network Disability Elders of All Ages, the Quality Support project aims to raise the quality and consistency of formal disability support. We do this through training and support to disability support workers and others in the sector. We offer free workshops to anyone and everyone to learn, share and develop. We seek to further connect and build leaders through our Community of Practice for support workers. We host monthly workshops on topics identified by people who receive and provide support as those that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
______
Our events have finished for 2023.
We are working on a human-rights based series of workshops and support worker community of practice sessions for 2024. Please check back in late 2023/early 2024 for details.
Please sign up to the monthly newsletter to stay in touch.
