Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What is the problem with the joke in the team chat?

 

Jokes and doubts about someone's health can make them feel judged, and can amount to disability harassment.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

A colleague looks well today, but yesterday was in a lot of pain. What is the best approach?

 

Many chronic and episodic conditions vary. Respect doesn't depend on how someone looks today.

Lesson 2, What counts, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

A colleague tells you about their condition in confidence. What should you do?

 

Disclosure is the person's choice. Keep what you learn private unless they say otherwise.

Lesson 4, What would you do?, teaches this. See the outline
