Accessibility and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Events

Accessibility 

Student group constitutions require your group to be accessible and inclusive to all. 

Our Accessibility Guide to Student Activities contains some really useful guidance on how to achieve this! If you have any questions, please contact your link staff member.

The University also provides some good practice guidance on inclusive and accessible events. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Events 

The Celebrating Diversity Events Series is overseen by the University’s Diversity Events and Celebrations Working Group (DECWG), a group that meets on a termly basis in order to discuss upcoming events and to take a joined up approach in promoting University activities. 

Membership of this group is broad and includes representatives from YUSU, GSA, the Equality and Diversity Office, the Events Team, Communications and the Centre for Applied Human Rights.

If you would like to contribute an event or activity to the Celebrating diversity events series or have an idea for a guest speaker, get in touch with your link staff member in the first instance. 

Submitting an event to the series means that the University can help you promote your event to as diverse an audience as possible and connect it to other related events and activities taking place across the University. For an example, see their Black History Month 2022 webpage.
