About this session:

Run by our accessibility coordinator, Minna, this session will encourage participants to take a moment to consider:

  • Do you understand what disability is?
  • How confident are you talking about disability?
  • Do you think you operate in a way that is accessible to all people?
  • Do you understand your responsibilities towards accessibility?

What will be in the session:

  • Models of disability, equality and equity
  • Universal design
  • The language we use, attitudes and mind-sets
  • A chance to ask questions without judgment

At Caritas, we believe that everyone should have opportunity to participate in all activities. This includes people who use our services, employees and volunteers.

Together we will work alongside individuals to find inclusive ways of working that suit them best.  We seek to welcome, integrate, and support the participation of all people by making our projects accessible.  If you face barriers because of your physical, mental and emotional, learning, sensory and/or communications needs, please let us know.
