Equality Act train the trainer toolkit 
In October 2010, the Equality Act replaced existing equality laws with a single act. The Act strengthened the law and simplified it by removing inconsistencies, although it is currently under review and amendments (Aug 2011). We provided a number of Equality Act training sessions for DPOs on the implications for disabled people. We produced a DPO Equality Act train the trainer toolkit and ran five workshops with 40 DPOs. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide Disabled People’s Organisations, who are already delivering training, with a set of materials for use in delivering Equality Act training. Besides the materials in this toolkit, there is a section containing links to further resources. The toolkit is avaliable in text and audio versions and can be downloaded here (page link).
