University of Wolverhampton DSN makes shortlist at Employee Network Awards

The University of Wolverhampton Disabled Staff Network (DSN) has made the shortlist twice at the Employee Network Awards. 

This follows a ‘Highly Commended’ honour for ‘Outstanding Ability Network’ at the British Diversity Awards earlier in the year.

The DSN is up for ‘Outstanding Ability Network of the Year’ at the Employee Network Awards, with co-chairs set to attend the ceremony in London in October. 

Dr Melanie Best, senior equality diversity and inclusion staff advisor (disability) and co-chair of the DSN, said: “These nominations are a testament to the work of the DSN co-chairs, central EDI team, and wider disabled community, in pushing the agenda forwards on disability inclusion. 

“We want to advocate for the rights of our disabled staff and set an example to the wider sector about how disabled staff can be better championed. 

“It is a journey, and we still have a long way to go, but it is great for the work to be recognised. It is an honour just to receive a nomination.”
