Disability Federation Ireland's ethos involves designing the disability equality training with disabled individuals and partnering with professional trainers with the lived experience. This means that individuals with lived experiences of disability play a pivotal role in both the creation and facilitation of our training. Employing their many years of experience, our team have created an enjoyable, informative and challenging workshop for delegates to attend. 

Leveraging experiences of the experts offers an innovative method to reframe the learners thinking on disability that generates long lasting impact. The training is interactive, with quizzes, breakout discussions, live polls, case studies, individual and group reflection points.  

This Co-Created Disability Equality training is CPD accredited training, recognised by the CPD Certification Service in Ireland.
