Young People as Disability Awareness Trainers - New Course!
If we are expecting staff who run mainstream services (for example, youth and leisure services) to positively include young disabled people, we need to make sure they have a good understanding of disability. This course has been created as the first step in increasing the number of young people with a learning disability who can become trainers in disability issues.
