Ātea - Disability 101 post workshop evaluation report - PDF

After the pilot of the Ātea disability 101 workshops in June 2022, Te Pou continued to deliver the workshops, testing delivery to groups within organisations, rather than to individuals. The workshop uses a rights-based approach and continued to be guided by the social model of disability. It aims to improve trainees’ awareness, their understanding of disabled people/tāngata whaikaha, and identify steps to reduce barriers to including disabled people. It also sought to help participants be aware of what contributes to ableism, and ways it can be minimised. Each workshop was delivered via two half day virtual (Zoom) sessions.

This report covers feedback from people who responded to the post workshop evaluation, during July to December 2022 and those who participated in focus groups and interviews 2 to 4 months after they attended the workshop.
