The Lightyear Foundation is delighted to welcome you to this SEND in STEM Network meeting.

We’ll hear from Katherine Deane about the Disability Access in Laboratory Environments (DALE) project, followed by a Q&A and member discussion on how to make labs more accessible and inclusive.

We would love to hear from members about their experiences using, adapting and developing different lab environments, including schools, research institutions, and industrial labs.

You can let us know in advance about a project you'd like to share with network members, or decide to share on the day.

This meeting will be facilitated by Hannah Ford Tomlinson, Lightyear Foundation's Communities & Partnerships Programme Manager.

Please let us know if you have any access needs; British Sign Language interpretation and other forms of support are available on request.
