2-4pm: Disability forum meeting

The forum meeting will focus on mental health, sharing good practice in supporting current students with mental health difficulties to succeed in and beyond higher education, and consider how this can inform outreach and transitional work with prospective learners. The meeting will also include an update on results from the Outreach with Disabled Learners and Inclusive Practices survey, and planning for the next University Information Day for Disabled and Dyslexic Learners.

Please see the draft agenda. A final agenda and any papers will be a sent a week in advance of the meeting to all registered attendees.
