There are a number of new duties placed on services and organisations across all sectors to ensure they do not discriminate against disabled people. EDI has developed a Level 1 Award in Disability Awareness which aims to assist organisations in complying with current legislation on disability and to develop individual employees to understand the wider context of disability and how this should be put into practice within their workplace. This qualification is also designed to challenge individual's attitudes towards disability and to explore the barriers which are faced by disabled people.
