Our branch Equalities Working Group will be attending this interactive webinar as a group, with the aim to continue local work to challenge disability discrimination. The recently published University of St Andrews’ Staff Disability Policy is up for review in August, and we hope to strengthen it with input from us members. Please join the working group in attending this CPD and building our local campaign around accessibility.The full aims of the interactive workshop are to:

• Know more about what is meant by disability

• Understand the social model of disability promoted by the UCU

• Explore how we can all challenge disability discrimination in the workplace.
