Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all is at the heart of UCL’s culture and it’s one of the reasons I feel so passionate about working here.

As an organisation we have always had a strong belief in the importance of inclusion, but we can always be better at delivering this and we will keep working hard to improve – we recognise we have many historic and listed buildings and also legacy IT systems which were not designed with accessibility in mind. We are working to tackle the challenges posed by these challenges and will embed accessibility as a fundamental principle into all aspects of our future planning and development.
