For young people with learning disabilities?

IF SO OUR TOOLKIT AND COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU

 

The University of Surrey and Health Education England Kent, Surrey and Sussex are developing a new education package called the ADVANCE programme.  It is aimed at helping those who work with people with learning disabilities and their families to communicate ethically and effectively about making an Advance Care Plan.  This enables people to have control and choice about their end of life care.

 

The ADVANCE programme consists of an Open Learning toolkit and a communications workshop lasting approximately two hours.

 

The Toolkit and workshops are free to use and attend and we are running these across Kent (in Canterbury), Sussex (in Brighton) and at the University of Surrey (in Guildford).  Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance.

 

If you would like to attend, please email Matthew Peacock – m.peacock@surrey.ac.uk

Film Hub South East- Training for exhibitors about welcoming people with learning disabilities

Tue 12 September 2017 10:00 – 13:00

Want to improve your venue’s ability to meet the needs of audience members with learning disabilities, enhanced or specific needs?

You’re invited to learn from an informal two-hour training session for exhibitors, co-delivered by a learning disabled member of the Oska Bright Film Festival team. You’ll find out the secrets of marketing to, welcoming, engaging and retaining learning disabled audiences.

Some comments about the workshop, delivered at Gulbenkian last month:

  • “Very interesting workshop – made me think about things in a different way”
  • “Humbled, enlightened, keen to see more”
  • “It’s good to spread awareness about being different”
