Dear colleague,
I am delighted to invite you to the above workshop funded through the University’s ‘Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Fund’ (EDIF). It is an interactive workshop that will explore the universal model of accessibility in relation to adjustments for disabled people.
The workshop is targeted at all staff whose roles involve teaching, event planning; developing presentations, websites & publicity materials; giving presentation; and organising various meetings/activities. The aim is for delegates to gain knowledge; which would enable them develop skills and improve their practice by creating long-term change; whilst ensuring that disabled staff, students and visitors at Newcastle University are supported to thrive in an enabling environment by becoming full participants in university life, events and activities (without limitations). Details of the workshop are as follows:
