Disability Awareness Level 1 - EDI VRQ Accreditation Number ASEDISA
There are a number of new duties placed on services and organisations across all sectors to ensure they do not discriminate against disabled people. EDI has developed a Level 1 Award in Disability Awareness which aims to assist organisations in complying with current legislation on disability and to develop individual employees to understand the wider context of disability and how this should be put into practice within their workplace. This qualification is also designed to challenge individual's attitudes towards disability and to explore the barriers which are faced by disabled people.
This qualification is suitable for learners working in any sector who may come into contact with disabled people and who wishes to gain a basic understanding of the difference between disability and impairment.

· Develop knowledge and understanding of the differences between disability and impairment

· Understand the wider context of disability and how this should be put into practice in the workplace
