I'd be interested in your 'packaging' I honestly believe it is the most
emancipating training around disability, I work on an 'audit' style to
personalise the workshop for the participants, makes it relevant.
And also;
Re. training of Disability Equality Trainers: this is a difficult issue
a s there isn't any training (that I am aware of). There is also a
considerable amount of inferior training around. I will file any
dis-forum responses to this subject as if I ever see a suitable source
of funding I'd like to get a group of potential partners together to
write a proposal for such a training course. (?ESF)
Now me again:
I was trained by GLAD (Greater London Action on Disability) in advanced DET.
GMCDP (Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People) do similar training.
IN the 'old days' it was the London Disability Resource Team who did initial
training. BCoDP/NCiL are supposed to be keeping a register, but this seems
problematic. I have been trying to get others together for just this
purpose Claire so would be very interested in working with you on any
developments. I am most interested in developing further the notion of Deaf
Equality training.
The DRC recently called for tenders from all DETrainers and agencies so it
looks like this is the training they will be recommending in the future. I
can give contacts of trainers who are appropriately skilled, qualified and
experienced in DET (and no, I don't mean me! - Too busy! -except of course
for LEA award officers;o))
