KQ Virtual Diversity Roundtable: Disability

Knowledge Quarter

Join the KQ for this Virtual Roundtable focussing on Disability and Disabled Support Networks across the square mile.

KQ Virtual Diversity Roundtable: DisabilityJoin the Knowledge Quarter for our latest Diversity Roundtable, focussing on Disability. The pandemic has provided the world with what Disabled people have been asking and campaigning for for years - flexible working. Whilst a very positive step in the right direction, access needs are all too often an afterthought. Screen time, no interpretors, lack of breaks between meetings are all side effects of the switch to us all working online, but when that can have disproportionately negative impacts on the Disabled community, is there more we can be doing?This Roundtable will provide an opportunity to hear from Disability Support Networks across the KQ, a place to share best practices and to include staff who&#x27;s organisations may not be big enough for their own networks.

Our Virtual Events: Our virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out. To ensure you are able to join the event, please &#x27;arrive&#x27; (via the link sent through Eventbrite ) around 5 minutes before the start. This will ensure you are able to be let into the Zoom room before we reach full capacity.Once you have signed up via Eventbrite you will receive a Zoom link by email 48 hrs before, 2 hrs before and 10 minutes before the event, please check your JUNK folder for these emails as they are sent directly through Eventbrite&#x27;s system. You do not need to download Zoom software in order to participate - there is a web browser version which works perfectly well. If you have any questions please get in touch with the KQ events team: Bhav (bhavit.mehta@bl.uk) or Jemima (jemima.barnes@bl.uk).Can’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private virtual views?
