Education sessions
Communities also offer free online and tailored education sessions to the disability sector and other stakeholders.
These sessions provide accessible learning opportunities on key topics such as positive behaviour support, supported decision making, understanding the Policy and reducing and eliminating restrictive practices, and more.
Our regular sessions are designed to build knowledge, refresh skills, and encourage person-centred approaches across the sector.
