Disability Talks

Dear colleagues,

As Inclusion Lead and chair of a group on Invisible Disability at UCL GOS ICH,  with colleagues at ICH we  have organised some talks on Disability and I thought some of Library Services colleagues may like  to attend. All the talks are on zoom  and the links are include below.
