Deaf and/or disabled trainers
Inclusion London (IL) are the lead organisation for the London Deaf & Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO) Hate Crime Partnership, made up of 24 local DDPOs across London who deliver a range of Hate Crime Support via frontline services.
deafPLUS has been working with Inclusion London as part of the London DDPO’s Hate Crime Partnership to coproduce training courses as a resource for local DPPO’s.
The training courses have been designed to create a growing community of people who understand what Disability Hate Crime is and recognise the devastating impact it has on individuals and society.
The purpose of the course will help participants to develop their skills and knowledge in tackling Disability Hate Crime in all of its forms and help to create a more fair, equal and just society.
We will be offering non-DDPO frontline staff working in transport, housing, Special Educational Needs schools and Deaf Organisations high quality bespoke online webinars.
