The new legislation means that everyone at work has a responsibility to treat others fairly according to their needs. However, understanding exactly how we need to behave in order to meet our responsibility to others is not always easy. When Drhim Khan began a new role as IT Outreach Tutor for Scope Wales, undertaking the Engaging Diversity learning programme helped him to gain a practical grasp of the new diversity legislation. As an outreach worker, Drhim’s role required him to set up IT training programmes for people with physical and learning disabilities in their own communities. “Teaching adults with disabilities was a completely new challenge for me. The Disability module gave me a really thorough understanding, not only of the background to Disability in Wales but also helped me think in terms of the needs and challenges that disabled people face,” explains Drhim. Drhim also completed other modules including Age, Race and Gender and reports that the programme helped him to understand his obligations in terms of diversity law. “The learning was delivered in a really easy to understand way that clarified the legislation for me. It will be really useful to refer back to this resource in future,” says Drhim.
