✍️ In 2020 I applied for DSA, to ensure I received the support I needed to access my degree

❌ But from step 1, I found the system to be completely flawed

✊ @OxfordStudents must stand up for disabled students at every stage

As an @LSEnews student, I’d love to study in the new Marshall Building — but when I tried to enter today & yesterday, the wheelchair accessible door was locked.

It’s been 12yrs since the Equality Act, & LSE still can’t wrap it’s head around disabled students entering buildings.

Let’s talk about ableism in education! [a thread🧵⬇️]:

As someone who has graduated with a 2:1 in English at a Russell Group University and then proceeded to work in my student union for a year, I have experienced MANY barriers when it came to accessing my education.

Massive congratulations to @RoseAylingEllis

She has brought such joy, pride and fun to our screens.

It brings Tabou such happiness to know that Deaf and disabled young people will have been able to follow her journey on @bbcstrictly

Delighted to be part of the Writing Disability series at Cambridge Uni Library (me and Molli Carlson online 14 Dec). TONIGHT it's Lottie Mills and Elizabeth Leung talking about children's literature and disability representation. Free. https://t.co/OiyHWcAPLh

It was brilliant for our Editor @_DanniWatts to get the opportunity to chat to @itslaurenrowles at todays ACCEPT event run by @Clifford_Chance - a great opportunity to learn about and discuss the often overlooked intersection between disability and LGBTQ+ identities.
