Dear Colleagues

 Would you like to have a say in how the University:

• Promotes equality, diversity and inclusion for staff with disability
• Celebrates the diversity of its staff and students
• Shapes its recruitment approaches to support diversity
• Develops and supports staff to advance their careers
• Develops and delivers teaching and learning to students from diverse backgrounds

If yes, then how about joining our Disability Staff Network. We welcome all new members who may have a disability (physical or hidden) themselves or who support someone else with a disability. 

Our aim is to:

• Support all staff with disability to enable them to achieve their potential in their careers
• Help make the university environment barrier-free for all staff and students
• Raise awareness and educate colleagues about various disabilities and how to support colleagues who may have a disability

The network has direct communication channel to Senior Management through the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

Interested?

If you are interested in being a part of this inspiring group, please contact either Naseer Ahmad in the EDI Team on: n.ahmad@greenwich.ac.uk or Ciara Doyle, the Chair of the Disability Staff Network on: C.Doyle@greenwich.ac.uk

Best Regards

A nine-year-old model who had both legs amputated as a baby has walked the runway at New York Fashion Week.

Daisy-May Demetre, from Birmingham, is believed to be the first double amputee child to walk in an official New York Fashion Week show.

Her father Alex said she was “amazing” and “felt really proud of herself” as she modelled for brand Lulu et Gigi.

She is set to model at the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Fashion Week later this month. More
