Working with Disability in the Workplace Online E-learning Course
We all have the human right to be treated equally with dignity and respect, but quite often we do not understand the complex needs of others. Disabled people have the same right as everyone else to work. For many of us we do not understand the specific challenges or difficulties that disabled people face on a daily basis. The employer has a responsibility to ensure that reasonable adjustments are made within the workplace to accommodate the requirements of a disabled person. Duties also extend to employees for example – you may be requested to assist a disabled person during an emergency evacuation. If you employ disabled people or you could potentially have disabled visitors you need to consider our Working with Disability in the Workplace Course.
This e – learning module provides the essential information as detailed within the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). The training clarifies both the employer’s and employee’s responsibility in addition to assisting with the practical application to assist disabled people.
