Inclusion and Support Resources

We are working to provide an inclusive experience of outstanding academic and professional growth and create a culture which truly thrives on difference.

This page brings together our Inclusion and Support Resources webpages, where you can find practical resources and guidance on specific areas of inclusion. On these pages you can find sources of support and peer community networks as well as ways to foster inclusive practice.

Disability

Did you know: 18% of the UK population are disabled, and approximately 80% of disabilities are hidden.

Under the Equality Act 2010, a person is disabled if they have “a physical or mental impairment [and] the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on [their] ability to carry out normal day to day activities” - this includes physical disabilities, hidden disabilities, neurodiversity, mental health problems, and a range of other long-term conditions.

Menopause

Did you know: More than three quarters of women experience menopause symptoms at some time and 40% of women said their menopause symptoms had been worse than they had expected.

Menopause is a natural part of ageing when an individual’s oestrogen levels decline and they stop having periods. In the UK, the average age to reach the menopause is 51, but around 1 in 100 people experience the menopause before 40 years of age.
