A note on access
CHWA follows the social model of disability. We understand that access is a deeply personal and ever evolving area of learning. We understand, too, that some people may not immediately identify as having needs that relate to an access requirement, but that would help them feel more comfortable, supported or at ease throughout the conference. Examples of this could include:
Working with Cloverleaf Advocacy, My Barnsley Too and our national conference working group, we are working to create an accessible event.
Here are some of the key elements we are working on following consultation and advice:
Carers and those with Dependants
