Making It Easy to Do the Right Thing (DVD)
Disability Responsiveness Training developed by the Health and Disability Commissioner in association with Diversityworks Group.
The DVD has been designed to help you increase your responsiveness to the disability sector and understand the issues you, as a provider of health or disability services, need to consider when working with disabled service users.
The resource contains:
- information and philosophies on disability and impairment;
- interviews with disabled professionals (including 2 hours of extended footage);
- interactive learning techniques;
- best practice examples;
- tools and strategies for implementing inclusive, respectful and non-discriminatory policies and procedures; and
- ways to ensure that your service supports and protects the rights of disabled people.
Comedian Philip Patston and actress Minnie Baragwanath present you with an entertaining and informative way to rethink ideas about impairment and disability, shift perceptions about disabled people and encourage creative thinking for anyone committed to inspiring, innovative and effective designs for inclusive services.
