Roundtables
Roundtables are interactive sessions that are a forum for the sharing of ideas and solutions to particular problems. Chaired by our associates, they enable delegates to network within a small group. They are an opportunity for members and non-members to learn more about EFD, meet the team and find out how we can help with your work.
At these events we want you to bring your own queries and questions and share them with other delegates. Our experience shows that where you might be trying to tackle something for the first time in your organisation, other members will have already overcome the problem or EFD will be able to help.
There are two types of Roundtables:
Roundtable – Introduction to disability
These Roundtables will
- Introduce you to the field of disability and to the key issues you need to consider to develop your disability confidence
- Cover the basics of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
- Help you to take advantage of the products and services that EFD membership offers you
- Allow you to network with other members and have your queries answered in a relaxed environment.
Who should attend?
This is a good place to start for anyone new to disability and to EFD
Roundtable – Update on disability
These Roundtables will:
- Update you in the latest developments arising around the legal issues, including any case law, from a leading UK lawyer
- Enable you to discuss new initiatives within the disability sector
- Include a guest speaker from an organisation which can provide you with support to make it easier to employ and retain people with a disability
- Help you to take advantage of the products and services that EFD membership offers you
- Allow you to network with other members and have your queries answered in a relaxed environment.
Who should attend?
These Roundtables are for anyone who has been working on disability for some time.
