Workforce Development Training

 

As well as working with children & young people, Enable Me also provides training for staff in schools, colleges, health care settings and in the private sector.

Working with other disability organisations (You Can Do It! & Freedom Through Fun), we offer a range of unique interactive training modules that are delivered by trainers with disabilities and/or trainers who have personal experience of living with disability.

 

Each module is designed to improve the capacity of your workforce by enabling staff to become truly inclusive in the workplace. Our targeted training will raise the confidence of your staff by removing the barriers that exist - usually as a result of lack of training, lack of understanding and lack of knowledge.

In our experience, the best way to challenge and change negative attitudes to disability is to empower people. By empowering the workforce and increasing access to universal services, this Workforce Development Project will enhance the ability of all agencies working with disabled children & young people (and their families) to be better able to meet the aspirations of the Children's Workforce Development Council to produce the best possible outcomes for children & young people.
