Join us on International Day of Persons with Disabilities (Tuesday 3rd December 2024) for a lunchtime panel meeting exploring this year’s theme: Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future. Panel members from the Staff Disability Network and Staff Neurodiversity Group will share reflections of their leadership journeys and discuss the importance of allyship and challenging ableist bias. All are welcome and encouraged to attend to develop dialogue and understanding around the pivotal role that colleagues with disabilities play in creating an inclusive workplace and shaping key decision-making processes.
