This Disability in the Workplace course is designed to equip union representatives with the knowledge and confidence to effectively support disabled members and challenge workplace discrimination. Participants will explore the impact of disability discrimination, gain an understanding of the social model of disability, and learn about employers’ legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. The course also covers the importance of reasonable adjustments, supporting members with hidden disabilities, and promoting inclusive workplace policies. By the end of the course, representatives will be able to identify key issues affecting disabled workers and develop a practical workplace action plan to help create a more accessible, inclusive, and supportive working environment. Courses are fully funded - there are no course fees for union reps from TUC affiliated unions.
