Disability and Wellbeing Network
The Disability and Wellbeing Network (DAWN) supports disabled staff who work at the University by providing staff with a space to talk openly about disability, and to work with the University to ensure disabled voices are heard.
What we do
The Disability and Wellbeing Network provides the following:
- Social events to get to know other disabled staff throughout the University.
- Work with HR and other services, through the Co-Chairs, to contribute to the development of policies and practices to ensure that disabled staff receive all necessary support and have a positive experience.
- Campaigns to highlight disability and to champion the successes of disabled staff.
How do I join?
The Disability and Wellbeing Network uses the social model of disability and any member of staff who identifies as disabled or chronically ill can join.
