SENse Learning is celebrating, ‘International Day of People with Disabilities’, by recognising the celebration of diversity and the role it plays in our global community. We continue to learn from the experiences of people with disabilities and the role of IDPWD is to encourage a world where a person is not characterised by their disabilities, but by their abilities, with human rights for all, at the centre of this. #internationaldayforpeoplewithdisability #internationaldayforpeoplewithdisabilities #internationaldayforpersonswithdisabilities #BespokeEducation #AlternativeEducation #CreativeLearning #educationjobs #SENEducation #seneducation

🌟 5 Tips to Make Your Event Inclusive and Welcoming! 🌟 🤝 Start with Inclusive Language – Use language that reflects respect for diverse abilities in all materials. 📣 Get Feedback from the Community – Consult with people with disabilities to understand their needs and preferences. 🚪 Ensure Accessibility is Thoughtful – Go beyond ramps; consider seating, quiet areas, and sensory-friendly spaces (consider speakers, guests, staff and volunteers). 🎤 Amplify Diverse Voices – Prioritize speakers with disabilities to bring unique perspectives to the conversation (and pay them accordingly). 👋 Foster a Welcoming Culture – Train staff to interact confidently and respectfully with everyone. Making an event accessible gives you the best return: speakers and attendees can fully engage and bring their best selves - you've created a space where everyone is valued and belongs. #InclusionMatters #AccessibleEvents #AccessibilityMatters #ForAll #ChooseToInclude #InclusivePractices
