Disability Diversity Training
Disability Diversity training has a long tradition which
recognises that diversity and difference should be valued.
People can face discrimination because of disability, gender,
race, age, sexual orientation and religion. In an effort to
ensure that we build a more inclusive society, we must address
discrimination and disadvantage.
