Disability awareness training shouldn’t feel like a box-ticking exercise.

At Purple Reach, our training is designed to be:

✔ Practical and relevant to real workplaces
✔ Honest, engaging, and judgement-free
✔ Focused on confidence, not fear of “getting it wrong”

We support leaders, managers, and teams to better understand disability, reasonable adjustments, and inclusive behaviours.

It’s Children’s Mental Health Week - a time to reflect on how early understanding, inclusion, and support shape mental wellbeing for life.

Children with disabilities and long-term health conditions are more likely to experience mental health challenges due to barriers, exclusion, and lack of awareness.

By creating inclusive environments early on, we help build a more understanding and compassionate society - including future workplaces.

Like & share to raise awareness.

Managers play a crucial role in workplace inclusion - yet many feel unsure how to navigate disability-related conversations.

Disability awareness training supports leaders to:
• Have confident, supportive discussions
• Understand responsibilities around adjustments
• Create a safe workplace that works for everyone

Inclusive leadership isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about having the right understanding.

Adjustment of the Month: Flexible Start Times

Flexible start times can be a simple but powerful adjustment for people managing:
• Epilepsy
• Chronic fatigue
• Neurodivergent needs
• Long-term health conditions

Often, small changes can make the biggest difference.
Inclusion doesn’t always require complex solutions - just thoughtful ones.

Awareness days start important conversations - but real inclusion happens when awareness leads to action.

Disability awareness training helps organisations move from:
Awareness ➡ Understanding ➡ Inclusive behaviour

Training builds confidence, reduces stigma, and helps teams support colleagues effectively - not just in theory, but in practice.

📩 Get in touch to find out how training can support your organisation.

Image: Purple background with the title "From talk to action" at the top of the page and aligned to the left in white writing. Just underneath the title is the paragraph "Training supports teams to build confidence, reduce stigma, and create inclusive behaviours that make a real difference at work.". On the right-hand side of the text is a circular frame with a yellow semi-circle framing the bottom half of the frame, and an image of Tom who is a man who is smiling at the camera. Tom is also wearing glasses and has a beard.

💬 Myth: Disability is always visible.
✅ Reality: Many disabilities are invisible.

Conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain, mental health conditions, and neurodivergence may not be immediately obvious - yet they can still affect how someone experiences work.

Inclusive workplaces avoid assumptions and create environments where people feel safe to ask for support when they need it.

Awareness starts with understanding what we can’t see.
