Diversity & Inclusion
Disability Inclusion Conference
We’re hosting a series of online inclusion conferences to consider how we can make Scouting more inclusive for all the communities that we serve.
Join us online for a festival of ideas to strengthen disability inclusion within Scouting. Eight online Zoom sessions will be held between Tuesday 28th July and Saturday 8th August. Topics will include:
- Understanding anxiety
- Reasonable adjustments for Achievement Pathways
- Practical strategies for inclusive Scouting
- Sensory awareness
- National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Scouting
- Showcase of successful disability inclusion
- Q&A discussion on ‘burning issues’
Sessions are open nationwide and designed for youth leaders from all sections.
