"As part of my PhD I am exploring the impact of the pandemic on students, both non-disabled and disabled and/or neurodivergent, studying at University at this time, and would love to know what these experiences have been like during these educational changes accompanying the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am currently looking for students willing to participate in a 15-25 minute questionnaire, both now and in 3 months’ time, exploring their experiences. There is a chance to win a £50 Voucher for completing both times. If anyone has any questions please do feel free to email me: [email protected]

Hello guys! Hope you enjoyed the festivities over Christmas and New Year. If you get chance please can you fill in this form (trying to make some big changes and positive impact to the learning contracts to better suit students!).

Thank you!

Learning contracts (Assessment and Exams) I am collecting feedback from students on learning contracts specifically - assessments and exams. I would appreciate it if you could fill this out so I can share your experiences with the Disabled head in a couple of weeks! Thank you.

Hello everyone!

Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you this year :)

Come join us at 3pm in the hubs tomorrow! Monday 27th September- there's pizza here

We are looking forwards to welcoming all new and returning students in September! If anyone needs anything at all don't hesitate to reach out!

All students with a learning contract are being contacted by Disabled Student Support to let them know of the support available to them: extra support has been implemented as result of COVID-19. This email includes a graphic I made to help visualize the support.

Myself and the Sheffield Hallam Students'​ Union Officers have been in talks with the University to try to ensure all disabled students are getting the support you need in the pandemic.

I really hope this news offers comfort and support to everyone, but I understand how challenging things are and have been for many! Any feedback or comments please don't hesitate to get in touch with myself or the SU Officers!

Congrats to all the new part time reps and officers elected today! And our new Disabled Student Rep Jodie who will be taking over the role in a few months!

SURVEY

I've been contacted by an organisation which advocates for accessibility for students with disabilities, who are conducting a survey on the impact COVID-19 has had on their studies and life. If you're interested in filling out the survey here is the information I was provided:

________

Disabled Students UK is a grassroots organisation of current and former disabled students campaigning for improved accessibility in higher education. The Covid 19 pandemic and lockdown has had a huge impact on higher education, and especially disabled students, as such we have created a survey to gather and collate the experiences of disabled students across the UK to raise awareness of issues that UK disabled students have experienced during the pandemic. As well as highlighting what has gone well and finding solutions.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_p57-BzXd0nWGtyxAg2o7O5v5iJcXO9FbmBNhIEidtAXOOA/viewform?fbclid=IwAR1BfxyYK-TW1NKLqi1rLtbA1BqEUS4Mv7C0yi2jR4Y0MXjdMrKGeJCsLgg

The survey only takes 10-20 minutes and all participants will be anonymous.

The deadline for submission is the 26th April at 5pm.

When we have gathered all the information, we will be publishing a report that will be publicly accessible and which can be used to help inform policy across higher education going forward.
