DIVERSITY CALENDAR IN MAY
3rd – 9 May Deaf Awareness Week
The week promotes the positive aspects of deafness and social inclusion and raises awareness of organisations that support deaf people and their family and friends. This year’s theme is ‘Coming through it Together’. Local support: Access Bedford, Deafconnect (Northamptonshire) The day’s focus is on digital access and inclusion for more than one billion people with disabilities and impairments worldwide. Someone with a disability must be able to experience web-based services, content and other digital products with the same successful outcome as those without disabilities.
A worldwide day to celebrate sexual and gender diversity, and to stand up for those who endure verbal and physical attacks because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. It is everyone’s duty to ensure that our College is an inclusive and safe space, free from bullying, harassment and hate incidents.
