Who are we?
Hello lovely people! We are the Disability Action Group (DAG).
We represent a student community for those who identify as disabled - that includes people with physical disabilities, non-physical disabilities, long term health conditions, mental health conditions, and neurodivergent students. You are welcome to join - there is no diagnosis required to join, and we also welcome non-disabled allies of the disabled community as well.
Our aim is to enable our community to make connections with each other, and to represent and support the community within the university environment.
What do we do?
We are a community focused on inclusivity and accessibility, and want to help others make connections, share advice or experiences and give everyone a voice. We do our best to advocate for those who need it with the university, and we share resources that may be useful throughout and beyond university.
We will have socials to give people a space in person to connect with others in an accessible way. Inclusivity and accessibility is our priority when planning events - we will always try to choose activities which you can drop in and out of, avoid loud noises, and ensure that our socials are run in spaces with step-free and wheelchair access. If you have any access needs that you would like to tell us about, or if you think we can make adjustments to improve the accessibility of our socials, please email us to let us know. There is no pressure to attend socials, however!
We also attend meetings across the university to try to make improvements to accessibility on campus, and to celebrate important occasions such as Disability History Month. We sometimes work with other people or departments across the university to run campaigns, so if you have a campaign that you think is relevant to us and you'd like our support/opinions, please get in touch!
