Disability
People with disabilities are welcome at this event. Senate House is wheelchair accessible, although there are some limitations due to it being a listed building. This means that although wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility are able to access all necessary facilities it is not always easy for them to do so in a fully independent way. If you need a disabled parking space please contact Claire.
Please tell us in advance if you need to have a hearing loop available.
Information about access to Senate House for people with disabilities can be found here.
If you have any questions about access for those with disabilities please contact Claire (claire.millingtonkcl.ac.uk)
