Hygge Associates event - Disability Awareness

What comes to mind when you hear the word 'disability'? How would you define it? Do you know what is considered a disability by law and how to create inclusive workspaces free from discrimination and prejudice?

July is Disability Pride Month in the UK. Come and join this session to find out more. We will cover:

• Understanding what disability is - the different types and the different models of disability
• What the law says about disability and how this impacts workplaces
• Becoming more inclusive – best practices, the importance of language, and legal requirements to make workplaces disability-friendly
• Signposting to further sources of information

Julie Stubbington is co-founder and lead trainer at hygge associates. Over the last 13 years, she has worked in the fields of mental health and disability service delivery, as well as staff wellbeing and engagement. Julie has delivered training on wellbeing issues to hundreds of people and has been part of working and advisory groups on these issues in the workplace.

With her own lived experience of mental health (technically a disability), Julie is passionate about ensuring that all employees, managers, and business owners know more about inclusive practices so that they can create work environments in which everyone can thrive.
