Meeting and purpose

 

We would like to invite to an online meeting on Monday 18 November at 15:30-17:00 to discuss the UnliMited proposal for a Disability Inclusion Group (formerly Disability Equality Steering group). This meeting is a follow up of the meeting that took place on 18 October. 

The Disability Inclusion Group would be made up of staff with disabilities, chronic illness and neurodivergence, and persons who associate / support individuals with a disability, chronic illness and neurodivergence (such as family members) and represent the views of such staff. It will be able to input into discussions on new and existing policies and raise awareness of problems and barriers such staff experience. The proposal for the Disability Inclusion Group was drafted by the Core group of UnliMited-Staff and, if approved, it will be our responsibility to put this part of the new policy into practice.

That is what we will discuss at the meeting on Monday 18 November on Zoom. We will have break out groups in Dutch and English.

On behalf of the core group of UnliMited, we invite all our members - including staff with disabilities, chronic illness and neurodivergence who have not been in touch with UnliMited before - to join this meeting and tell us your views. We want to hear from you and help to make this policy as good as it can be!

The relevant policy documents are not yet public - as they are still subject to discussion. However, we can share the document with members who register for this meeting. If you cannot attend this meeting, but would still like to contribute in writing, please get in touch too by email: unlimited-staff@maastrichtuniversity.nl

We look forward to seeing as many as possible of you online on Monday 18 November.

 

Best wishes, on behalf of the core group of UnliMited-Staff,

Lisa Waddington and Netty Bekkers
