Let's Talk About Disability

Let's Talk About Disability

The Disability Taskforce developed the 'Let’s Talk About Disability' campaign in 2020/21 to raise awareness of disability in a positive and inclusive way. The campaign consists of regular instalments of messages celebrating different areas of disability with useful links and resources for staff and students to look at.

Some general resources and sources of support:

  • Networks at Warwick - Warwick Enable is the disability liberation and campaigning society on campus for disabled students and the Disabled Staff Network is open to all staff members with an interest in making the University a more accessible place for all and creating a more inclusive environment.
  • Adjustments - Staff and students can find information and support on the Disability Services and staff adjustments webpages.
  • Supporting disabled students - the Code of Practice for Disabled Students provides a summary of policies and guidance relating to requirements and recommendations for inclusive provision for disabled students at Warwick.

"This series is all about challenging the idea that disability shouldn’t be talked about, or is too difficult to talk about. Instead, these pieces aim to celebrate and inform in a positive and accessible way. This is important for us as creating inclusive cultures where diversity is recognised, understood, and valued will help Warwick to achieve our vision of excellence in education and research. I hope you will find the series educational and engaging, and please do spread the word in your teams and departments so we can get more people talking about disability."
