Event information

The ICAEW has recently signed up to being a Disability Confident employer.

This means that we are committed to ensuring our environment, policies and working practices are both inclusive and accessible.

The aim of this webinar is to provide you with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to allow you to be an ICAEW Disability Confident employee.

The webinar will explore:
1: What a disability is.
2: Commonly held stereotypes (in respect of disabilities) versus the facts.
3: A summary of the most common disabilities in the UK.
4: Our responsibilities in respect of championing a positive environment for people with disabilities in the Institute.
5: Best practice approaches to providing support.

The webinar is delivered by a senior partner in a leading UK Diversity consultancy and you will be given the opportunity to raise questions at the end of the event.
