Scottish Disabled Members Committee Newsletter Spring 2021
Last year we published a Coronavirus edition bringing together the main disability and health & safety issues our members were facing as we recognised that branches were all consumed in their response to Covid-19.
In this edition Covid-19 remains a main focus as lessons are being learned from emerging experience and research and includes disabled members’ stories on working from home during Covid-19 and also recovering from long-term post-Covid-19 symptoms.

We do not hold an email for all members meaning some miss out on getting our important updates.

Scottish Union Learning Fringe Events at STUC Congress.
The events are open to all Activists and Staff – you do NOT need to be a delegate at Congress .
They all look interesting but given the current pandemic and Mental Health Crisis the Event on the future of Mental Health Learning might be of particular interest and Dr Nicola Cogan who is one of the presenters tutored UNISONs Trauma and PTSD Workshops.
So please feel free to register via the links .
