Inclusion Training and Workshops
Build the skills, confidence and understanding your team needs to embed real inclusion every day, not just on paper.
Disability inclusion can feel overwhelming when you're not sure where to start. These training sessions are designed to meet your team where they're at, without shame or jargon. They’re practical, interactive and grounded in lived experience and best practice. Your staff will walk away with a better understanding of what accessibility and inclusion means and what they can do, based on their roles, to bring it to reality.
These sessions understand that different people have different levels of power to make change within the organisation. They won’t provide you with lofty goals, and won’t act as a check box session, but rather challenge staff to think about their role in creating and removing barriers for people with disability in your workplace.
Sessions are always tailored to your organisation or business, size and goals.
Okay, but what is Inclusion Training?
Good question! Inclusion Training is a level up from Disability Awareness Training. Not only do we go through the basics of disability - what it is, what it can look like, but we then go into what it looks like in your workplace, and gives practical tools to break down barriers and ensure your workplace is truly inclusive for everyone.
This training builds real-world understanding of disability, access and inclusion. It provides low-to-no cost tools and skills that can apply to all staff in their roles, decision-making and communication.
It’s not about getting everything perfect. It’s about creating a workplace where people feel respected, informed and confident to keep learning.
These workshops are ideal for:
Teams new to disability and inclusion work
Leaders who want practical ways to model inclusive culture
Organisations responding to feedback or reform
Groups preparing for change, growth or community engagement
You don’t need to know where to start, or what to do next, that’s what I’m here for.
What we can cover
Here are some of the most common training areas I offer. You can choose one, mix a few together, or request something specific for your team.
-
An introduction to disability-inclusive language, representation, etiquette and respectful practice. Especially useful for staff new to access and inclusion work.
-
Support your team to design and deliver services that work better for everyone, including disabled clients, customers or community members.
-
Explore how unconscious bias, structural barriers and assumptions show up in recruitment, onboarding and team dynamics. Ideal for HR, people and culture, or leadership groups.
-
Understand how race, class, gender, disability and culture interact. Learn how to build approaches that are inclusive and responsive, not one-size-fits-all.
-
I also offer tailored sessions for:
Unions and worker-led organisations
Not-for-profits and community services
Advocacy and member-based organisations
Local Government
Small to Medium Enterprises
What I offer
Each training engagement includes:
A pre-session planning call to understand your team, goals and context
A live interactive workshop (online or in-person)
A follow-up resource or summary handout
Optional check-in to answer questions after the session
Sessions are interactive and grounded in real scenarios. You will not get death-by-slideshow.
Where needed, I can also provide:
Customised resource packs for participants
Session recordings (where appropriate)
Series of 2 to 3 sessions with a learning pathway structure
Post-training implementation planning or coaching
Is this service right for you?
This service is relevant to anyone who recognises that an individual can’t be responsible for inclusion within an entire organisation - it’s up to everyone.
It can be particularly useful for
Teams that are new to disability inclusion, or are looking for a refresh in their knowledge and skills
Leadership, HR, Comms or Ops teams wanting clarity on their roles in inclusion
Anyone who wants their organisation to be easier, safer and more equitable to navigate.
Organisations that recognise they have a problem with inclusion, but don’t know what they can do about it.
If you’re unsure if this is the service that you’re looking for, you can try out the Accessibility Self-Assessment tool I’ve developed. Or, you can contact me and we can have a chat about your needs.
