EIS Disabled Members' Network 

The Disabled Members' Network is a new network space for all members who identify as disabled, and for members who would be entitled to reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act (2010). The Network is open to, among others, Autistic members, members with long-term hearing impairments, and those with long-term illness that affects their everyday lives.

The Disabled Members' Network:

  • Connects EIS members who are disabled with colleagues from across Scotland
  • Informs the Equality Committee and EIS work on equality issues
  • Provides tailored opportunities for members to attend events, CPD, conferences and seminars
  • Keeps members up to date with equality news and initiatives
  • Gives members the chance to shape EIS policy

The next meeting of the EIS Disabled Members' Network will take place online, on Wednesday 20 January, 4:30pm - 6pm.

Further details will follow. To register your interest in attending, please complete the online form.
