UCL Disabled Students' Network

UCL Disabled Students' Network A page for disabled UCL students, including physical disabilities, long term illnesses, specific learning difficulties and mental health issues.

The Disabled Students’ Network is a collective which aims to represent the views of students’ at UCL who self-define as disabled, including but not limited to students with physical disabilities, long term illnesses, specific learning difficulties and mental health issues. The Section is chaired by an elected part time volunteer known as the Disabled Students’ Officer. You can contact the Disabled Students' Officer at su-ds.officer@ucl.ac.uk

In particular, you can email them:
1. If you want guidance and peer support after having been denied reasonable adjustments or having similar ongoing disability related problems at UCL (we can give you advice on who to contact and add you to a chat with others in similar situations).
2. If you want to join our committee (we are always looking for new committee members). We hold meetings, events and run campaigns. You can join our community at:

- UCL Disabled Students’ Network Group (group for disabled students at UCL):
