To deliver inclusive, informative educational campaigns that raise awareness, reduce stigma, and signpost students to appropriate academic and wellbeing support.
Planned Actions:
- Develop more educational campaigns, such as Learning Disability Awareness Week
Measures of Success:
- High student engagement with the campaign and clear evidence of increased awareness of available support.
- Positive feedback from students and university services on the clarity, accessibility, and impact of campaign content.
Progress So Far:
- An online campaign to raise awareness and understanding of learning difficulties near the beginning of term, timed to support new students arriving at University while also acting as a refresher for returning students.
- The campaign achieved nearly 35,000 views across the week across the 4main campaign posts highlighting key areas:
- What is learning difficulty is?
- Specific types of learning difficulties
- How to access diagnostic testing and what support is available from the University?
- How can the Centre for Academic Success support all students?
- I worked closely with university services, including CAS and the Disability & Wellbeing team, to ensure all information was accurate, clear, and accessible.
- This campaign helped students better understand their options, reduced stigma.
- This supported my wider priorities around inclusive education, accessibility, and improving the academic experience.
