Reasonable Adjustments Digital Flag Training (e-learning)

Target Audience

This training is suitable for NHS and Social Care staff

Course Overview

The aim of this learning session is to introduce the Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag and how this can be used to address some of the significant health inequalities experienced by people living with a disability or impairment.

By law (the Equality Act 2010) all people who have a disability or impairment are entitled to reasonable adjustments. Without these adjustments, people with disabilities may have equal access to care and services, but without specific adjustments being made, that access might not be equitable or fair.

Reasonable adjustments are the responsibility of everyone in the health and social care sector and this session will help you understand that these adjustments are not just the right thing to do, but may be the difference between someone receiving essential care or not. It will explain how the Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag can help you an your organisation meet your obligations under the Equality Act and how you could make a real difference to the estimated 28% of the population in England that this affects.

This separate to the Oliver McGowan mandatory training.
