The Disabled Leaders Network is striving to become a space of community, professional & personal development, and advocacy, driving impact and potential for its members.
The Disabled Leaders Network (DLN) is a network of both emerging and established Disabled Leaders, including current students, graduates and professionals. Each member brings subject expertise and lived experience of disability to this pioneering platform.
We aim to connect disabled leaders to share support and ideas, foster professional growth through events and workshops, and advocate for disability rights in education and beyond.
The DLN also host various events for our members and the public to support them in progressing as disabled leaders in their respective fields.
Events
We host an array of both public and member only events. We run bi-monthly free and public webinars, where we meet with industry experts to hear about their experiences of getting into the field (the majority of speakers have lived experience of disability, so we ask them to reflect on their journey from this lens), tips for our network and opportunities to connect. All of our events have Closed Captioning through a manual captioner to ensure accuracy, British Sign Language and visual descriptions. We record all public sessions which are available to watch below:
