It is not a disabled person's condition or disability that limits them- it is society and the access/ attitudes of everyone else. Biases about conditions (mental health included) should be challenged and I loved how Liz said to look in the mirror and do some self-reflecting. If you don't understand something, ask. Teach yourself through research and always listen to the person it is impacting the most- don't assume you know best because you have not lived it. Thank you, Liz. So much.

Mental health
Arthritis - mobility issues
to mention just a couple.

All things we have in every single setting. Allowing time for the person to talk through their needs and having an open mind about how you can help without taking over or taking away someone's voice. Ensuring everyone involved with the member of staff knows their wishes / needs ESPECIALLY when it comes to things such as observations etc.

I feel like I need to be more sensitive when helping disabled people if they need my help as they can get offended. Also about educating our future generation and encouraging them to feed their curiosity and approach a disabled person to learn more about their condition rather than turn them away. Though, I grew up thinking this would offend the disabled human, I have learned something different today, that actually it may make them feel less isolated. The fact that we need to give disabled people more work opportunities and not turn them down just because they are different to us. This has really helped me to enhance my knowledge based on disabled people and made me aware that there are much more people who are disabled than we actually think and understand that not all disabled people should be imagined to be in a wheelchair, rather think outside the box. ]]> 2021-04-01 11:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/katepurchase/SummitUiDconf/wish/1375055756 https://padlet.com/katepurchase/SummitUiDconf/wish/1375065067 all three sessions engrossing.

Moved (to say the least) by the powerful media presented and the impact it could have in 'opening our pupils' eyes' to the realities beyond what they see through their individual lenses (their worldly perceptions). 'Lyfta' appears to be a powerful tool for teaching empathy, resilience and insight with such diverse potential across the trust. A must try, I think!

Thank you so much for discussing some of your experiences, and openly discussing some of the barriers you have faced- both personally and professionally.

As someone who is currently a mother, expecting once again, and ambitious, it is such an inspiration to have women in our trust who have certainly proven that you can be a good mother and good at your job. 

I was once told that if I chose to have a baby, I would essentially be 'putting my career on hold' or 'ending' my career altogether. Taking a full maternity entitlement was also frowned upon, as if I had to choose between my family or my profession. You can imagine the worry when I did fall pregnant with my first child.


Even now in my current pregnancy, colleagues have already discussed (completely innocently) who will 'replace' me during my next mat leave. As you can imagine, those feelings resurfaced once more.

Today's discussions have certainly highlighted the positives; they have also highlighted areas where we need to work harder.

Thank you again. ]]> 2021-04-01 13:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/katepurchase/SummitUiDconf/wish/1375384015 https://padlet.com/katepurchase/SummitUiDconf/wish/1375387611 This was a brilliant conference: "Developing a whole academy approach to equality & diversity" was incredibly useful.
