This project is looking at barriers facing young mobility disabled adults (in Scotland, Roumania, Hungary and Germany) as they seek education, training and employment appropriate to their ambitions and abilities. If you are willing to spend about 15 minutes completing a questionnaire (paper or electronic)about your experiences, that would be very helpful to our research. The outcome of the research will be an online database, some distance learning packages for young disabled adults and for potential employers, giving tips and guidance on best practice, plus a workshop on piloting the packages. If you can help, please email me (Nina Baker)for the questionnaire, as our website is not yet online:[email protected] [posted 28th August 2002] to top Have your say on the quality of your University Experience Skill UK promotes the opportunities to empower young people and adults with any kind of disability to realise their potential in Further and Higher Education. Given this, a research study is being undertaken, by Glasgow Caledonian University, of disabled students in Higher Education/Universities throughout the UK to investigate their view of the quality of service delivery within their chosen university. Given the importance of this study in providing information on the quality of the learning opportunities provided for disabled students, Glasgow Caledonian University invite you to take 10 minutes of your time to complete the questionnaire, which can be found on the following website:http://cvu.strath.ac.uk/cgi-bin/open-ae/display/tests/LizVon/Serv_Qual_Quest [posted 27th June 2002] to top CHESS The Consortium for Higher Education Support Services for Deaf Students meets three times a year.

Do you want to be part of a nationwide web-collective of young disabled people who love life and love to travel? Do you want to explore the country using insider knowledge of like-minded people?

Where do you hang out - which pubs, clubs, art galleries and cafes are wheelchair accessible? Where's worth a visit in the summer sun, are there any outside music venues or festivals nearby which are particularly groovy, and what is public transport like? Are you a disabled web-designer who wants to add some extra funk to the look of the site? Email Katy at [email protected] to get involved and have your say via this new interactive travel website.
