Age

A reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person of a particular age group; a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons of the same age group; a reference to an age group is a reference to a group of persons defined by reference to age, whether by reference to a particular age or to a range of ages.

How can we ensure that people of all ages are treated fairly and feel like they belong in our schools?

DisabilityEdUK

DisabilityEdUK logo

DisabilityEdUK

Disability is often the forgotten characteristic and there are widely held negative assumptions made about disabled people. At DisabilityEdUK we want to support disabled educators to be fully contributing members in education in every role and at every level of leadership. We believe that school leaders have an important role to play in making the disabled workforce in education more accessible and representative of disabled educators everywhere which is why leadership development is a central aspect of our organisation.

Our 20/21 aims are to:

  • educate people to challenge their own biases and assumptions about disabled people.
  • raise awareness of the ableism, stigma and inequity that disabled people experience.
  • provide leadership development to school leaders so that they are disability aware, and can
    fully understand and deliver reasonable adjustments that make educational settings are accessible for all.
  • Challenge the deficit model of disability and promote the skills and talents of disabled
    people in education.

Who we are
We recognise that as a group of women our only diversity is the difference in our disabilities and we are working on increasing representation this year:

  • Ruth Golding: Chronic Illness Physical Disability, Mental Health​
  • Lyn Haynes​: Ally, ITT & Reasonable Adjustments​
  • Vivienne Porritt​: Chronic Illness​
  • Laura McConnell​: Neurodiversity​
  • Cat Salt​: Neurodiversity, Mental Health​
  • Maria Turkenburg​ Ally, ITT & Reasonable Adjustments​
  • Liz Wright: DisabilityEdUk ​ Ambassador - Physical Disability/Limb Difference

DisabilityEdUK…reasonably adjusting attitudes!

Disability

A person has a disability if one has a physical or mental impairment, and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. A reference to a disabled person is a reference to a person who has a disability; a reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person who has a particular disability; a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons who have the same disability.

How can we ensure that people with disabilities are treated fairly and feel like they belong in our schools?
