Employment rights and discrimination resources
Understanding Disabled people’s employment rights under the Equality Act 2010. Training materials to use with young Disabled people and guides to Disabled people’s rights in the workplace in BSL and easy read formats
Employment Rights Training
One of Making it Work’s greatest achievements is the creation of a training resource which informs Disabled people of our employment rights under the Equality Act 2010. It also helps us to identify and articulate our access needs, to understand workplace barriers and how to address these with employers. Not only have we trained young Disabled people on this subject, but we have also created a ‘Train the Trainer’ version for DPO staff to learn how to deliver this training themselves to other Disabled people. DPOs can get copies of the ERT training materials (PowerPoints, training notes and handouts) by contacting us.
Disability Justice Project Discrimination Guide: Your Rights At Work (BSL version and Easy Read)
In this guide we look in more detail at the different types of discrimination that Disabled people may experience in a workplace. During the Covid-19 pandemic Making it Work staff secured additional funding from the London Community Response Fund. This enabled us to create a BSL (British Sign Language) version and an Easy Read version of Inclusion London’s ‘Discrimination Guide: Rights at Work’. The BSL version can be found here.
