Disability working group
The BSMS Disability Working group consists of staff members and disability champions, and all staff are welcome to join. We meet on a termly basis to raise issues about building and digital accessibility across the school, share experiences and ideas and discuss how we can make BSMS more progressive and inclusive to our staff and students living with any sort of disability. The groups objectives include:
- To raise awareness of disability equality issues within the school
- Identify problem areas and strive to ensure that solutions are implemented at an operational level
- Encourage others to see past stigmas that are linked to a person’s disability but see their achievements, actions and ideas
- Organise and develop ideas initiatives, talks and projects to tackle challenges for staff and students with disabilities
If you are interested in joining the Disability Working group please email inclusivity@bsms.ac.uk.
