Recently, CRPD hosted its second workshop on Managing People with Diverse Needs at Work, aimed at HR professionals.

Organised in collaboration with Carnegie Coaching and Consulting, and with input from CRPD's Disability Equality Training team, the workshop provided practical tools and created space for participants to learn from the experiences of people with lived experience of disability.

More sessions will be held in the coming months, with the aim of equipping HR professionals to better understand and implement reasonable accommodation as an integral part of workplace culture, rather than an afterthought.

As last week came to a close, our Disability Equality Trainers Christine Mifsud and Joann Spiteri delivered a session for staff at Spazju Kreattiv, based at St James Cavalier.

The session explored practical ways to adapt services and create a more inclusive experience for everyone visiting. Participants engaged in discussions on accessibility and inclusion, with Maltese Sign Language (LSM) being one of the topics explored.

We thank the team at Spazju Kreattiv for the shown commitment in strengthening inclusive practices.
