Dear Colleagues
The University of Wolverhampton recently screened the film, Bette Bourne: It Goes with the Shoes for LGBT History Month.
It is an excellent piece of documentary style film making that highlights important issues about the broader equalities agenda through exploring LGBT identity and acceptance in a thought provoking, entertaining and poignant way.
If you are interested in showing this film at your University for International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia (IDAHO) coming up in May 2014, please feel free to contact:

NADP Annual conference 2014
Thursday 26th and Friday 27th June
Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth
Managing complexity in disability support
Complexity is evident in all our work. Within our student profile, in the worlds of further and higher education and in our increasingly interconnected, international, consumer/student environment.
This conference will provide delegates with time and space to think about disability service provision for an increasingly complex disabled student population.
We will also consider disability support provision in a complicated and changing environment against a backdrop of new, exciting but sometimes challenging assistive and communication technologies whilst considering a global student body and rising expectations in a new fee environment.
A booking form for this conference is attached together with information about the workshop sessions, and can also be found on our website.
An early-bird discounted booking fee is available for delegates booking before Friday 28th March
An outline programme for the conference can be found on our website
