Understanding Autism - How to Make Training More Accessible
Understanding Autism - How to Make Training More Accessible
As workplaces become more accessible to those with additional needs, it is crucial that L&D professionals are well prepared to create an accessible learning environment for all.
This interactive session will focus on one of the more prevalent hidden disabilities; autism.
Joe will give participants an overview of what it is like to live in a world as an autistic person and explore the areas of difference between neurotypical and autistic individuals. Activities will be used to reinforce participants' understanding to enable them to make their training more inclusive.

Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid
Mental health and mental health illnesses remains a largely taboo subject and still carries stigma and discrimination, particularly in the workplace. Much of this is to do with it being largely unknown and misunderstood and this session looks at highlighting exactly what mental health and mental health illness are. Bust some common myths and look at how to effectively manage mental ill health in the workplace to everyone’s advantage, particularly from an L&D viewpoint.
Mental Health First Aid is a relatively new concept in the UK and Mental Health First Aiders are currently recommended by the HSE but not yet a legal requirement. A bill to make mental health first aiders a legal requirement in the workplace has passed its first reading in the House of Commons and it is widely felt that it will become law in the same way as physical health first aiders are required in the workplace in the next couple of years. What does this mean for employers and employees? How will this particularly affect L&D and L&D professionals? Come along to hear more about mental health and mental health first aid in the workplace today and how you can be aware and ready for change in your organisation, your profession and your industry.
