Too many disabled people face barriers at work that aren’t about skills or ambition. The problem is often a lack of confidence, unclear information about legal rights, or fear of asking for what’s needed. This training is here to change that.
Workplace Rights Training for Disabled People focuses on practical knowledge and self-advocacy. Participants will learn how to understand their rights under the Equality Act, ask for adjustments, plan a return to work, and build the confidence to communicate their needs clearly.
Whether you’re applying for a job, starting a new role, or managing a health condition at work, these sessions offer practical tools to help you succeed.
Ideal for community organisations, employability programmes, and support services, the training is delivered in a safe, inclusive, and strengths-based environment.
Many disabled people don’t know what support they’re entitled to at work
Legal rights like reasonable adjustments are often unclear or misunderstood
Confidence to communicate needs can reduce anxiety and improve wellbeing
Understanding your rights can lead to better, more sustainable work outcomes
Empowered individuals are more likely to thrive, not just survive, in the workplace
The courses listed below are examples of what we offer. We can also design workplace rights training tailored to the needs of your organisation or programme — whether that’s a single session on requesting adjustments, a multi-part series for jobseekers, or a workshop to support people returning to work after illness.
Learn what the Equality Act 2010 means in practice.
Understand your rights as a disabled person at work — including what counts as a reasonable adjustment, how to recognise discrimination, and how to take action if needed.
This session is clear, practical, and empowering.
Returning to work after illness, injury, or a career break can feel overwhelming.
This course provides a supportive space to explore emotional readiness, phased returns, and how to ask for adjustments. Participants leave with a realistic, personalised plan.
Learn what workplace adjustments are, how to ask for them, and how to manage conversations with employers.
We cover real-life examples, common worries, and simple ways to make the process less daunting.
Workplace Rights When Starting a New Job is a short, practical course that helps disabled people understand their rights from day one of employment.
It covers reasonable adjustments, what to expect in the first weeks, and how to speak up with confidence and clarity.
If you work with disabled people, jobseekers, or returners, this training can help them build confidence, understand their rights, and take the next step in work.
