Hi Claire,
In addition to our range of guidance on inclusive support for different needs and identities at https://www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance-resources/inclusive-environment/ , below is a quick medley of external links. These might be of interest for background reading – I can’t vouch for all comments or approaches in these of course, but hope useful for discussion.
Family friendly events:
I’d also consider things like clarification about the presence of alcohol/non-alcoholic drinks, alternative forms of engagement (livestream, livetweeting, summary notes, transcribed speeches), inclusive language for a range of gender identities, awareness of prayer and rest spaces, content notes/warnings as applicable, guides for Chairs on inclusive approaches, user-friendly signage, consideration of financial support for travel/accomodation expenses,and training for contractors/ushers/helpers.
Should any of our Advance HE members want specific advice on making events or comms inclusive to a range of identities and backgrounds, do of course get in touch directly (and equally, if you have any feedback on the inclusiveness of our own events).
Best wishes,
Jess
