Disability is not separate from humanity. It's a natural part of the human experience.
Often times, disabilities can be a part of natural genetic variation.
Celebrating our unique experiences makes us stronger, prepares us for a world full of differences, and promotes community and understanding.

For schools & colleges to thrive, every educator must feel valued, whatever their age, gender or background.
It’s about flexible working, supporting parents & carers, welcoming career changers, and opportunities for all.
