Training and Consultancy Services
IDEA Tree also offers a range of training and consultancy services, using our extensive experience of disability and management issues. The money we charge for services is used to subsidise our not-for-profit work.
Our training includes Disability Equality for a wide range of staff, to an in-depth 2-day course for senior staff on developing a strategic approach to implementing disability equality in meduim to large organisations.
We have proven strategic management skills, extensive experience of the disabled people’s movement nationally and locally, and of the not-for-profit sectors (voluntary, charitable and social enterprise sectors).
Our Equality training aims to:
* share current information
* dispel the myths and assumptions around disability and disabled people
* examine the barriers that disabled people experience from a social model of disability
* help participants develop a practical understanding of disabling and empowering language, attitudes and behaviour surrounding disabled people.
* and to look at actions to tackle the barriers disabled people experience.
Our Strategic Management course will:
* look at the historical roots of the stereotypes of disabled people
* explore models of disability, including the social model
* share details of responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act
* examine the dynamics of language and disability issues
* support participants in developing techniques to build rapport with disabled people
* and work through a carefully planned approach to planning a disability equality strategy from problem-identification to options analysis and practical planning
