Welcome to UCL's Disability Equality Day

Date: Thursday 17th September 2009
Venue: Sub-Basement Rooms, 188 Tottenham Court Rd. Directions to venue

Professor Stephen Smith (Chair of the UCL Committee for Equal Opportunities) and Christopher Hallas (Chair of the UCL Disability Committee) invite you to UCL's Disability Equality Day, building our confidence to effectively work and support disabled students and staff.

The day is for all UCL staff, especially managers, teaching staff and anyone who may work with disabled staff and students. Some places may be available for students depending on availability. The aim is to provide participants with knowledge, skills and guidance on how best to support those with disabilities at UCL, ensuring equality of opportunity, and providing an inclusive environment where all individuals can flourish.

The Programme is made up of bite-sized sessions (1-2 hours) and a lunchtime Market Place where Professor Stephen Smith and Christopher Hallas will be available to take questions and receive feedback on UCL's approach to supporting disabled students and staff.

Before booking please read the session descriptions available from the links as listed in the Programme below. The booking form can be accessed HERE or at the end of each bite-sized session page.

This event is sponsored by the UCL Disability Committee and the UCL Committee for Equal Opportunities. For further information, please contact the HR Administrator Sonal Bharadva, email s.bharadva@ucl.ac.uk telephone: 020 7679 9764 ext. 09764
