Description
Welcome to Bristol SU's Disability and Accessibility Network!
The Disability and Accessibility Network provides a safe space for students with disabilities and/or accessibility needs whether those needs are visible, invisible, physical or mental. Our focus is to build a positive community of students with disabilities and supportive peers through student-led campaigns, collaborations, socials, and workshops.
In the academic year 2024/2025, the newly elected Network Chair, Natasha Smith (She/Her), aims to clearly and effectively communicate opportunities and support services available to students with disabilities, as well as develop a framework for future network leaders to use, to provide continuity, communication and support to our members.
It’s free to be a member, so sign up to our mailing list below to keep up to date with our latest events and join in the discussions on matters of interest and concern for students with disabilities. If you’d prefer to post your ideas, opinions or questions anonymously, you can access our padlet here.
Our first event of 2024/2025 is a crafts evening Wednesday 2nd October 2024, between 5pm-7pm in Living Room 2 on the 4th Floor of Senate House. This event is an opportunity for people to meet the Network Chair and engage with the Network for the first time.
The Disability and Accessibility Network holds a strong ethos that you are not defined by your disability, but it is something that moves through your life with you. In this supportive network, you can develop as an individual and find ways to build yourself and your future, regardless of your disability. If you’re interested in joining the Network as a committee member or would like more information, please get in touch.
We look forward to meeting you! 😊
