Equipping and Inspiring Leaders
On Thursday, 13 November 2008, Radar Disability Network is running a
Leadership Programme in Birmingham
designed to increase the number of disabled people in positions of leadership and influence arround the Uk.
The closing date for applications is 5 September.
As well as delivering leadership skills to individuals, Radar believes these Development Days can play a part in getting disabled people’s voices heard in public life.
Liz Sayce, Radar Chief Executive, said:
“Only 6.1% of people taking up public appointments experience ill health, injury or disability, compared to 20% in the wider population. Radar is supporting disabled people to find positions of influence in public life, so they can help lead and change the world they live in.”
Haji Saghir Alam OBE, a member of the Government’s Equality 2025 panel and leading expert in Human Rights and Diversity Issues, said:
“Disabled people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds can experience multiple discrimination and disadvantage. Radar’s Leadership Development Days will help aspiring leaders gain the skills and confidence to move forward with their leadership ambitions, whatever difficulties they face.”
