AVELINE SHEK

Inclusion, support, understanding

WHY ME:

  • Our experience at LSE is limited by:
  1. A lack of awareness about disabled students and our needs,
  2. A lack of urgency to create inclusive spaces and solutions
  3. And a lack of visibility for disabled students in the eyes of school and departmental management.
  • Every student deserves to have the same level of access to educational experiences, whether academic or extra-curricular, not only for an enjoyable and memorable student experience but also for future career trajectories.
  • The Student Union's influence among students and on School management means that if elected, I believe we can create real change for all disabled students together.

WHAT I PLAN TO DO:

  1. Inclusion: 
    1. Work to make sure all departments and societies have inclusive policies
    2. Maintain an active social media platform for disabled students 
  2. Support:
    1. Hold fortnightly meetings and have an open Google Form to discuss struggles, tips and suggestions
    2. Continue the Officer’s work with students and the DWS (Disability and Wellbeing Service) to ensure we are getting the support we need
  3. Understanding: get conversation about disabled students at LSE through collaboration, on-campus and online
