Oxford SU Disabilities Campaign believes the future is equal, inclusive, and accessible.
As a campaign, our core aims are:
- Campaigning for better understanding and treatment of disabilities.
- Supporting and advocating for disabled students at Oxford.
- Bringing together disabled students for social events and solidarity.
By 'disabled students', we mean anyone who identifies as having a disability, whether this is officially recognised or not. This includes physical, sensory, cognitive, mental and developmental disabilities. This also encompasses those with chronic illnesses, learning difficulties, and mental health conditions.
The Disabilities Campaign is a place for support and everyone will be welcomed. Here is how to get involved!
Coming soon: Soon you will be able to click here for a pdf of our Oxford Disabilities Handbook, including extensive information on Oxford disabilities support, and for a pdf of our termly Campaign report on the work we are doing.

Join our Facebook Community Support Group
Any Oxford student who self-identifies as disabled can join our community Facebook group, where we advise and support one another and discuss disability-related topics in a welcoming and confidential space. Anyone can post a question for the community to answer, and you can do this anonymously too (please follow our Trigger Warning/Content Note guidance in the group description). The group can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OxfordDisabilities.
There are also support groups for specific conditions – a full list of those available and their joining links can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1he15245Ul2X3MTESIRNtUfqnWPuOSu54csOk7wIq4q8/edit

If you are having any difficulties, please get in touch.

The Students’ Union has a free, confidential, independent advice service run by trained professionals who can also help you explore what options you have if you are experiencing difficulty and think you might want to file a complaint. You can email them at advice@oxfordsu.ox.ac.uk
