        "eligibilityCriteria": "5.1 The successful provider will be expected to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the lived experience of disabled people. The requirement is to develop and deliver six training modules based on the Social Model of Disability. The first module will be a core element of the training and all Disability Taskforce and work stream members will participate. This core module will cover: * Brief history of Disabled People.* The development of the Social Model.* Outline of the equality and human rights framework.* Exploration of what is a disabled person.* The difference between the Medical and Social Models of Disability and how they affect policy development, service delivery and human behaviour.* Identification of the disability based discrimination that marginalises disabled people within all areas of our society. * The role of unconscious bias.* Explore why the mantra \"nothing about us without us\" is so critically important for disabled people - especially when embarking on a co-production process.* Explore real life practical examples that evidence the importance of \"nothing about us without us\" in the development of policy, programme delivery and monitoring.5.2 The subsequent training modules will be delivered to members of working groups and will reflect the thematic areas which it is anticipated will grouped under the EHRC domains contained within Is Wales Fairer: * Education, Skills and Employment;* Living Standards;* Health;* Justice and Personal Security; and * Participation in society (which includes Transport).This list is not exhaustive and additional working groups will likely be established for some domains and to ensure all the chapters of the 'Locked Out' report are fully considered. 5.3 The core module should be reflected in the themes for each of the working groups and the successful provider will be expected to demonstrate practical examples of how the core principles and practices of the Social Model of Disability would apply against these. It will also need to reflect Socio-economic duty and Human Rights.5.4 The successful provider will be required to plan and deliver seven two hour training sessions based on the modules. In addition, the successful provider will be responsible for the provision of training materials required to support the training sessions. All materials should be approved prior to training. The timelines for the seven training sessions will be agreed with the successful provider. It is anticipated the training will be delivered between January and March 2022. All training must be completed by the contract end date. All training materials will be provided by the trainer within the agreed cost allocation and should be fully inclusive and produced bilingually in English and Welsh.5.5 In order to meet the timeline for the training sessions to commence in January, the Client will require the training material to be submitted for approval by 1 January 2022.The training material developed as part of the contract will be owned by the Welsh Government.",
