CAMPAIGN FOR DISABLED STUDENTS

We work closely with the National Union of Students (NUS) and work towards creating and maintaining and equal learning environment for all students with disabilities.

LSBU should be a safe and enjoyable environment in which to study and learn, and as such we take very seriously the complaints/concerns or discrimination of disabled students.

If you have any questions or feelings concerning the disabled students campaign, or wish to get involved, please contact Jon on 020 7815 6075 or email vpwelfare@lsbu.ac.uk

NEW NUS DISABLED STUDENTS HANDBOOK

"Equality is one of NUS' core values and, through our Liberation Campaigns, we are working towards making society a fairer place for everyone.

Combating disablism is part of this work and the Disabled Students' Campaign has published a guide for officers in the field to assist them in breaking down barriers.

"Make the most of the disabled students campaign. This is your opportunity to make a big fuss about your [work] on campus," said Disabled Students' Officer Adam Hyland. "This year there will be opportunities for you and your students to lobby government, demonstrate, rally, petition, write to MPs, change attitudes on your campus, and more.""
