Course content
The Disability Awareness online course contains the following 6 topics:
1 – Introduction to Disability Awareness
The first topic explores common myths about disability. It explores different models of disability and outlines the impact of microaggressions and unconscious bias.
2 – Disability Statistics
The second topic provides facts and figures about disability and attitudes to disability in the UK.
3 – Disability and UK laws
The third topic outlines the Equality Act and what this means for disabled people and for organisations. It also describes other laws and policies that are relevant to disability including the Human Rights Act, the UN Convention on Disability Rights and the Public Sector Equality Duty.
4 – Being an inclusive company
Topic 4 explores reasons why an organisation should be inclusive when it comes to disability. It describes the disability employment gap and identifies some sound business reasons for inclusion. It also identifies actions that an organisation can take to be more inclusive in staff selection, interviewing and induction.
5 – Language
The fifth topic outlines the importance of language about disability. It identifies ways that language can be harmful, even when well-intentioned. The topic also provides general guidelines for respectful language, and advice about specific disabilities.
6 – Accessibility
The final topic explains why it is important to make your products and services easy to use by everyone. It identifies actions that make your services easier to use and then shows how you can improve emails, presentations and documents.
Course assessment
When a learner has completed all of the topics in the training course, they can take the assessment. The assessment consists of 15 questions. There is a bank of questions for each topic in the course, so the questions change each time a learner takes the assessment.
There is no limit on the number of test attempts at the Disability Awareness assessment so it can be taken as many times as necessary. Also, the feedback shows which topics the learner should revise after the assessment.

You can download your Disability Awareness certificate as soon as you have passed the online assessment.

What is a disability awareness course?
A disability awareness course is a training program designed to educate individuals on the various types of disabilities, the challenges faced by people with disabilities, and the importance of inclusivity and accessibility. The course aims to increase understanding and sensitivity towards people with disabilities and to promote a more inclusive and diverse society. Topics covered in the course may include disability etiquette, laws and policies related to disability, and ways to promote accessibility and inclusion in the workplace, community, and beyond. The ultimate goal of a disability awareness course is to create a more informed, accepting, and supportive society for individuals with disabilities.
Why is Disability Awareness Training important?
There are 16.1 million disabled people in the UK. Many of these people struggle to go about their daily lives, have a meaningful career, or use public services. Awareness is a vital step in the drive to make society more accessible for all.
People who don’t have a disability, and don’t know any disabled people, can be unaware of what it is like to live with a disability. For example, they might not understand the problems that disabled people face on a daily basis. If business managers don’t know about these challenges, they are unlikely to make changes.

The benefits of Disability Awareness in the workplace
Disability Awareness training helps workplaces become more inclusive so that no group of people is left out, and this improves wellbeing throughout an organisation. This can help with productivity and reduce staff turnover. Finally, all UK workplaces need to have disability-friendly policies and use hiring processes that encourage applications from a wide range of people, including those with disabilities.
