Disability Equality Training (DET) for Music

• Enable individuals and organisations to develop accessible services for disabled people

• Promote active participation and involvement in music by disabled people

The training looks at the root causes of exclusion and discrimination as well as the historic context behind the stereotypes, myths and misconceptions about disabled people. It will also provide participants with the awareness and resources needed to comply with the law and current good practice.
