Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), invites you to join our first ever VIRTUAL, Disability History Month Event.
Ensuring the network continues to be a visible and supportive space for staff voice and community.
Here at LJMU we want to outline the support available at the university for students with a disability, long-term health conditions, mental health conditions, or who are neurodivergent.
We’re refreshing the Staff Disability Network to better reflect and represent the diverse experiences of staff with disabilities, long-term health conditions, mental health conditions, and neurodivergence.
In recognition of Disability History Month (14 November to 20 December) and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December, we’re reflecting on our progress over the past 24 months to support staff and students with a disability/ who are neurodiverse and outlining our next steps to advance disability equity.
We want to make it easier for LJMU students who have a disability, or are neurodiverse, to tell the university. This is so reasonable adjustments can be made, and we can support you throughout your studies, ensuring you get the very best student experience.
This is an opportunity for LJMU/JMSU Managers, Programme Leaders and Personal Tutors (those directly responsible for staff/students) to participate in a half day (three hour) virtual, Lets Talk About Disability Workshop in order to gain tips for supporting staff/students with disabilities & long-term health conditions including mental health.
A renowned comedian and writer, the Public Health England national lead for mental health and wellbeing and an LJMU Honorary fellow were among the impressive speakers that informed and enlightened almost 300 delegates at the Let's Talk Disability and Mental Health Conference.
