UCLU Liberation Networks win NUS awards

Earlier this month the UCLU Disabled Students' Network received the NUS Campaign of the Year award for their work on Try it! campaign.

The Try it! campaign asked people to take on a number of educational and participatory challenges to better understand the physical barriers many disabled students, staff and visitor face when navigating the university campus.

A documentary has been made about the campaign which is being launched on Thursday 21 May and work has begun by UCLU in partnership with UCL to make UCL more accessible.

UCLU's Women's Network convened by the sabbatical Women's Officer Annie Tidbury was awarded women's Group of the Year at the NUS Women's Conference back in March.

They were commended for their work implementing UCLU's Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment policy which included a fortnight of activities including training students and staff. More than 160 student societies have also now pledged to tackle sexual harassment.
