TRAINING
Growing disability-friendly attitudes and services
A range of agencies work to support families in need, but many say they do this despite minimal experience in working with children with disabilities. Shonaquip Social Enterprise runs disability-related training programs in South Africa from:
- Government Social Workers, Auxiliary Social Workers, Foster Carers and Safety Parents
- Social and Community Workers from other NPOs
- Community Workers
- Teachers
- Police Forces
- Departments of Justice
- Departments of Health
Training sessions involve disability sensitization, the support of organisations in streamlining their programs and referral mechanisms to support and include children with disabilities and their families.
