Active Support and Frontline Practice Leadership Training
🚀 We are rolling out our second round of Active Support and Frontline Practice Leadership training sessions to all enabling functions teams in January and February 2025.
While this training has already been introduced to our frontline teams, it has been tailored to highlight how enabling functions teams contribute to creating best-practice care for people in our services 💜❤️🧡
Training sessions can be completed in any order and are offered both online via Teams and in-person at Support Centre (in person places are limited, please register early if you wish to attend an in-person session).
What is Active Support?
Active Support is a modern, evidenced-based approach to disability care. It recognises people we support as equal partners in decision making, planning, goal setting, and care monitoring.
It acknowledges people are the experts on their own needs and preferences, and helps us focus on person-centred support that encourages growth.
Enabling Functions play a crucial role in supporting our frontline teams to deliver consistent, safe, and person-centred practices. This training shows how you can embed active support practices into your role and the positive impact this can have on our frontline teams and the people we support.

International Day for the Elimination of Discrimination
2025-03-21
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on the day the police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid “pass laws” in 1960.

In 1979, the General Assembly adopted a programme of activities to be undertaken during the second half of the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination. On that occasion, the General Assembly decided that a week of solidarity with the peoples struggling against racism and racial discrimination, beginning on 21 March, would be organized annually in all States.

Since then, the apartheid system in South Africa has been dismantled. Racist laws and practices have been abolished in many countries, and we have built an international framework for fighting racism, guided by the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The Convention is now nearing universal ratification, yet still, in all regions, too many individuals, communities and societies suffer from the injustice and stigma that racism brings.

International Women’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when all women are recognised for their achievements. International Women’s Day was first born out of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.
Since those early days, International Women’s Day has grown in prominence and reach, touching women in every corner of the world.
