SUMMARY:Disability Inclusion Framework
DESCRIPTION:The Disability Inclusion Framework is a unique template created by Purple Tuesday to support organisations in taking a snapshot of core activities. It provides an “at a glance” review of any gaps which can help with any decisions on next steps to take. The framework focuses on three pillars which are: \n\nplace: the built and digital environment\npeople: your organisation’s employees and customers\npolicy and process: how your organisation operates\n\nThis interactive session will show you how you should use the framework to gather information and identify your current or existing disability inclusion practices and set your plans for future developments.
