Mid and East Antrim Council in association with Mencap are hosting a Good Relations themed workshop for adults with learning disabilities on the 23rd September.
The questions “What is GR?” “What does that mean for me as an adult living in Carrickfergus with a learning disability?” ‘What would you need to know as an adult with learning disabilities coming to this country?’ will all be posed and discussed.
This session will take participants through a discussion to collate points that will help guide those coming to Northern Ireland in a practical and inclusive manner.
An introductory workshop for the recently launched ISO30415 Diversity and Inclusion standard highlighting its requirements and the benefits of working with ISO 30415.
Diversity and inclusion have become hugely important to organizations worldwide, yet many still aren’t confident they understand the issues or know what actions to take to address diversity and inclusion in their own workplace. ISO 30415:2021 Human resource management.
Diversity and inclusion, is a new international standard that gives guidance on achieving diversity and inclusion in organisations of all sizes, sectors and types. ISO 30415 looks at the organization from both an internal, staff perspective and unlike other standards an external perspective (customers, suppliers and the community)
In this webinar John Mulholland MD of PDQ Solutions will outline the requirements of the standard and the routes to certification.

In partnership with Keep NI Beautiful, they will complete a Tackling plastics workshop which will look at the problems of marine litter, how it gets into the oceans, the effects on humans and wildlife. There will be a Group activity on how long it takes various litter items to break down, an explanation of the Marine litter survey and team quiz on the top ten items found when we do the beach audits. They will also complete a marine litter audit of the beach followed by a beach clean-up/microplastics search.
Marine litter, especially plastics, is becoming a huge problem which increasingly is affecting humans and wildlife. Studies are showing that millions of sea creatures are dying each year due to marine litter and humans are consuming more and more microplastics, some reports estimate up to almost 40lbs over a lifetime. The workshop aims to raise awareness of how it gets into our waterways and into the food system and hopefully encourage the young people to think about their plastic use. The audit that will be carried out is the same as the one Keep NI Beautiful carry out quarterly for DAERA, and the data from it will be added to the report which Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Eco Schools complete as part of their coastal schools project.
Castle Tower has many links with other schools in the Ballymena area, particularly though the ‘Ballymena Learning Together’ community.
However, an ETI inspection report in 2017 recommended that the school should begin a programme of formal shared education. Castle Tower embarked on its shared education journey at the beginning of the 2018/19 school year with two separate projects, one for nursery pupils and the second for primary pupils.
