Inclusion@UNSW trainings support learning outcomes that enable participants to understand their role in building an inclusive culture at UNSW and feel supported to do so. They will develop participants capacity to adjust behaviours (such as practical guidance on inclusive language) and to have critical conversations (such as practical conversations that challenge harmful stereotypes).
The Accessiblity@UNSW module provides a foundational basis of knowledge including detailed information on different experiences of disability as well as historic and everyday barriers to inclusion. The workshop builds on the material included in the module to better understand how to accommodate reasonable adjustments and build inclusive environments for all. 
Learning outcomes include:
- Increased understanding of the benefits that accessibility brings to people with and without disability.
- Increased understanding of UNSW policy and services that support people with disability. 
-
- All in-person training sessions will be held in wheelchair and lift accessible CATS rooms at UNSW Sydney Kensington campus (if not otherwise specified).
