Good education and training will help workers treat people with disability fairly.

We have ideas that will help make sure education and training is good.

We explain these ideas in the following sections.

Organisations should include people with disability when they:

• plan the education and training

• train their staff about disability.

Good education and training should give workers more chances to work with people with disability.

This includes workers who:

• have already done the education and training

• are doing education and training now.

Good training should teach workers good:

• skills to work with people with disability

• information about disability

• attitudes towards disability.

Attitudes are what you think, feel and believe.

Good education and training is also related to the type of work you do.

For example, a teacher needs education and training about how to support students with disability.

Some people might think about people with disability in bad ways.

And they might believe that what they think is right, even if it:

• hurts people with disability

• is wrong.

This can make them treat people with disability unfairly.

But good education and training should help workers understand why they might have negative attitudes.

And help these workers change those attitudes.

Workers need to do good education and training more than one time.

They should do it again after a period of time.

For example, workers might do training 6 months after they did it the first time.
