Disabled Students Officer by https://padlet.com/union_disability/99if0xyhguw2 A place to raise any issues 😊 en-us 2018-03-09 19:46:44 UTC 2026-03-11 22:32:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Welcome union_disability https://padlet.com/union_disability/99if0xyhguw2/wish/240347392 Hi everyone, 
This Padlet has been created in order to provide a way for disabled students to bring up any issues which they may have whilst they are at BCU. This has been created after a number of students have said they would like a confidential way to raise issues.

When your need to use the toilet is urgent this is not ideal!

It would be good to have some kind of chart (like on Google when you search for a place) showing the busiest times for the study areas so disabled students can plan their day/studies accordingly so they're not subjected to the stress of not being able to find somewhere to study.]]> 2018-03-19 14:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/union_disability/99if0xyhguw2/wish/243525087 Update union_disability https://padlet.com/union_disability/99if0xyhguw2/wish/248798961 I have emailed the head of estates at city south about the new city south extension and disabled toilets not having the button to open them meaning two people are needed. I am yet to hear back.

Vickie has contacted the estates and facilitate manager for the university who is asking if it is standard size electric wheelchairs or specialist ones? If you could let me know I'll get back to them. 

I'm not too sure how to go about the study rooms issue. I'll have a word with people at the SU and wellbeing team and see what could be done. ]]> 2018-04-05 09:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/union_disability/99if0xyhguw2/wish/248798961
