Best wishes, Hamied From: National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN) discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hamied Haroon Sent: 27 April 2018 10:41 To: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: NADSN Conference 2018 in London - SAVE THE DATE! + a request Dear All, I am delighted to announce that this year's NADSN Conference will be held at University College London (UCL) <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/> , in Central London, on Friday 13th July 2018, 9am to 5pm. Please save the date in your diaries! Stuart Moore, Jacquie Nicholson and I are working closely with Mike Higgins, his Equality@UCL <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-resources/equality-diversity-inclusion/equality ucl> Team, the Enable@UCL <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-resources/equality-diversity-inclusion/equality -diversity-inclusion-committees-and-social-networks/enableucl> Network, Nicole Brown and other colleagues at UCL to organise this event. The theme of the Conference is around promoting and ensuring the equality of disabled staff in the higher and further education sector, and we are inviting a star-studded line up of speakers! We are very grateful to UCL for being such generous hosts. We are also very grateful to the Business Disability Forum (BDF) <https://businessdisabilityforum.org.uk/> for supporting this Conference and for securing crucial sponsorship from some of their corporate members! We are hoping that the Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) <https://www.ecu.ac.uk/> will lend their support too. If anyone has any ideas for other appropriate sponsors, please let me know. REQUEST: As part of the Conference, we are planning a one-hour debate on the value (or not) of equality chart marks and standards! Would anyone be, or know of someone who is, a confident critic/opponent of charter marks and standards particularly on disability and would be ready to voice their opinions? We have people happy to lead the "for" side but we need a couple of people to lead the "against" side, to make for a proper debate! Please let me know. Registration will be FREE via Eventbrite, coming online soon! The full programme and further details will be released as soon as they are confirmed. Details will appear on this webpage: https://nadsn-uk.org/events/13-jul-2018-nadsn-conference-london/ Please share this with your Networks. Everyone welcome! Many thanks.
