To celebrate International Day of People with Disability on 3 December, the Law Society of NSW will bring together a panel of experts to provide practical suggestions for creating disability confident workplaces.
Creating a disability confident workplace ensures the legal profession is accessible for practitioners and staff with disability and can help break down barriers for disabled clients to access justice.
Our panellists will draw on their own experiences, and those of their clients, as they discuss key issues and what we can do to ensure safe and inclusive environments for our colleagues and clients with disability.
This webcast will feature an Auslan interpreter.
Facilitator:
Nic Parsons, Solicitor, Nicholas George Lawyers, Committee Member, Law Society Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Panellists:
- Darren Fittler, Partner, Gilbert + Tobin
- Natalie Wade, Founder and Principal Lawyer, Equality Lawyers
- Isabel Heiner, Program Manager, Stepping Into & PACE Mentoring, Australian Network on Disability
- Sonja Stewart, CEO, Law Society of NSW
Media will require an individual login to watch the online event.
