At Independent Lives, we’re proud to support this mission and share two key one-hour webinars: 📅 An Introduction to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion: 30th June, 1pm - 2pm 💡 Learn how to build environments where everyone thrives. 📅 Disability Awareness Training: 30th June, 2.30pm - 3.30pm 💡 Explore how to support people with sensory impairments meaningfully.
