Disability Awareness flipbook

Becoming more disability aware & inclusive

This guide was developed in partnership with the disability charity Enhance the UK and Shaping the Future with Volunteering.

It is designed to help individuals and teams become more disability aware and inclusive.

Managers can use it to support staff and volunteers by understanding the legal definitions and protections related to disability, recognising the benefits of an inclusive workplace, and implementing practical strategies to meet impairment related requirements.

It provides detailed guidance on how to communicate respectfully about disability and access requirements, ensuring that all volunteers and staff feel respected and valued. Additionally, the document offers specific tips for making physical and digital environments more accessible, which is crucial for managing services.
