We learnt that good education and training can help workers:

  • understand what disability is
  • support people with disability better.

This includes people who work in:

A hospital and a health icon.

  • health services

A graduation hat and a certificate, and a school.

  • education services

A police officer, and a judge in a court room.

  • justice services.
