Networking and learning: Update on disability

14th May 2008, 9:30am - 10:30am, London

Roundtables are interactive sessions that are a forum for the sharing of ideas and solutions to particular problems. Chaired by our associates, they enable delegates to network within a small group. They are an opportunity for members and non-members to learn more about EFD, meet the team and find out how we can help with your work.

At these events we want you to bring your own queries and questions and share them with other delegates. Our experience shows that where you might be trying to tackle something for the first time in your organisation, other members will have already resolved the issue. Roundtables will also help you to take advantage of the products and services that your EFD membership offers and allow you to network with other members in a relaxed environment.

Chaired by Rick Williams, director, Freeney Williams Ltd. with input from Catherine Casserley, barrister, Cloisters and former senior legislation adviser, Disability Rights Commission.

Why attend?

This Roundtable will:

• Update you in the latest developments arising around the legal issues, including any case law, from a leading UK lawyer
• Enable you to discuss new initiatives within the disability sector  
• Include a guest speaker from an organisation which can provide you with support to make it easier to employ and retain people with a disability.

Who should attend?

Anyone who has been working on disability for some time.
