Once an image has been sent, it cannot be controlled.But successive Tory ministers for disabled people – Esther Mc Vey, Mike Penning, Mark Harper and Justin Tomlinson – failed to persuade more than a tiny minority of businesses to take the scheme seriously.Disabled activists with a focus on employment issues even argued that Disability Confident was actually encouraging employers to ignore the access needs of potential disabled employees.This training can be taken independently or delivered to a group.Download the presentation and request a facilitator's guide for group presentations at the links above.But employers can reach the first two levels by just assessing themselves on their recruitment of disabled people and how they support existing disabled employees, after which DWP will send them a badge and a certificate.It is only if they want to become a Disability Confident Leader that this self-assessment has to be “validated” by another organisation.It is seen as a “key” element in achieving the government’s pledge to halve the gap between the employment rates of disabled and non-disabled people, but attracted just 40 mainstream private sector partners in three years after its launch by the prime minister in 2013.The stated aim of Disability Confident was to “debunk the myths around employing disabled people and encourage employers to take advantage of the wealth of talent available”.For more information or resources, visit humanservices.alberta.ca/Internetsafety. The Internet Savvy training helps parents and caregivers learn more about what their children and teens are doing online, some of the dangers they may face there, and what they can do to help protect them.Communication, education and awareness are the best defences for children, youth and parents to help use the Internet safely.Sexting is the emerging practice of teens electronically sending sexually explicit messages or images, primarily between cell phones.Attorney General Abbott, as part of National Teen Dating Violence & Prevention Month, warned young Texans and their families that sexting can lead to embarrassment, regret, and even legal dangers, including possible prison time.“Fortunately, NTDAH and its trained teen advocates are working to counsel young Texans and help fellow teens learn to avoid the peer pressure, shame and damages associated with sexting,” Attorney General Abbott said.Based in Austin, NTDAH offers troubled teens the only 24-hour help line in the country where trained teen advocates counsel fellow teens about digital harassment.Attorney General Abbott also encouraged Texas teens to contact NTDAH when they encounter peer pressure to participate in sexting.
