Our programme of events is now confirmed:
Professor Sarah Sharples, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, said:
“These events will provide a much needed focus to help us to understand the experiences of staff as they deal with disabilities that they or others experience. Many disabilities are invisible, and these events provide a vital route to help us all to understand how best to provide support for those with different types of disabilities.”

Disability declaration
Guidance for line managers: Would you know what to do if a member of your team declared a disability? See this Sway produced by our Employment Relations Team for guidance.
For more details, guidance for line managers on ‘Supporting Disabled Staff’ is available on the Equality and Diversity web pages.
Why it’s important: Declaring a disability and discussing it with your line manager enables you to access reasonable adjustments. If you haven’t done so already, providing your personal details in MyView will help the University better understand the diversity of our staff. To do this, please log in to MyView and go to ‘Equality Monitoring Data’.
