A Disabled Staff Network with membership open to all disabled staff and carers.
About
Primarily, we aim to provide a network of mutual support and a collective voice for staff with disabilities, restrictive health conditions and caring responsibilities. We also maintain close links with Human Resources, in particular the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Group. We work together with the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and the Staff Disability Officer to progress disability issues and make improvements. We hold six meetings a year and maintain an email distribution list via which we share and request information about disability.
Remit
Bring together staff with disabilities, restrictive health conditions and caring responsibilities in a safe space and a confidential environment to share experiences, information and support, to discuss disability issues and to network.
Gather and share best practice, knowledge, ideas and thoughts on disability issues to benefit operational, research and academic work.
Inform the University's approach to creating an inclusive and supportive culture and help to develop effective solutions by acting as a forum and a point of contact for the University to consult with on relevant policies and projects.
Raise the profile of disabled staff and disability within the University and beyond.

Membership
We welcome staff with disabilities, potentially restrictive health conditions and caring responsibilities and all staff who feel the Network is relevant to them. We are keen to welcome staff regardless of whether you self-identify as disabled.
We will never ask you to disclose your disability, health condition or caring responsibilities. We appreciate that not all disabilities are visible or permanent. If you are unsure if the Network is for you please come along to our next meeting or get in touch.
