Disabilities, Accessibility & Neuro-Diverse Network

The Disabilities, Accessibility and Neuro-Diverse (DAND) Network is a space for students who self-define within this group to connect, support each other, and advocate for issues that impact you - whether here at Bournemouth University or on a national level.

This network welcomes students with physical, sensory and/or hidden disabilities, mental health conditions, and those who want to be allies. You can self-define to become part of our community, learn more about being an ally, or to submit your suggestions. Any BU student who self-defines will become part of our safe and confidential space to discuss disability-related topics.

We have worked to improve accessibility at BU, organised events for Disability History Month and led the ‘Not All Disabilities Are Visible’ campaign to raise awareness of hidden disabilities. Most recently we passed a policy for sunflower lanyards for students who may need them.
