Come along to our banner making workshop on Wednesday evening - get creative and learn more about the strikes. Everyone welcome (whether you can draw or not!) Materials will be provided but feel free to take your own too.

We are extremely concerned to hear this response from @StudentsNCL.

Emergency cords are designed for accessible toilet users to alert people that they need assistance. For this reason they should be reachable from the floor.

This urgently needs to be addressed @NUSUpresident

[Daniel P Jones | he/him @DPhilipJones]

Not @StudentsNCL telling me that only women experience periods and that the ease of cleaning a disabled toilet is prioritised over stopping disabled students from *dying*. 😬

Newcastle, your transphobia and ableism is showing…

Tonight we at @NCLDaNSoc are facilitating a discussion group on 'what it means to be a disabled student'. Are you a disabled student? What does being disabled in Higher Education mean to you?
