Webinar: Understanding and supporting staff with a hidden disability

Webinar: Understanding and supporting staff with a hidden disability

 

Not all disabilities are visible - some are not obvious and can make everyday life demanding for so many people. 

In the UK, 1 in 5 people have a disability, 80 per cent of which have a hidden disability.
