Course Description
Inclusive Language – Disability is an optional addition to the Inclusive Language course. It comprises four units, which together aim to building awareness of language that excludes – its causes and effects, and some potential solutions in your workplace – specifically around disability.
Before enrolling in these units, participants must have already completed the Inclusive Language course.
As with all of our courses, the Inclusive Language – Disability course is co-designed and co-delivered by human ‘books’ and professional inclusion trainers. It comprises 4 units, each a 45 minute Zoom discussion with the course facilitator. For two of these discussions, there will also a human ‘book’ from the Hobart Human Library.
At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of successful completion.
