On 12th June I&#39;m presenting at an LMS Good Practice Scheme Workshop: Supporting Staff and Students with Disabilities. It&#39;s in-person and on Zoom. There&#39;s information and a registration link at https://www.lms.ac.uk/events/supporting-students-and-staff-with-disabilities Excitingly, it&#39;s happening at De Morgan House, which has no step-free access. I suppose the LMS, in its majestic equality, will allow you to watch the Zoom call from the street.

The accessibility guide for De Morgan House (https://www.lms.ac.uk/sites/default/files/inline-files/Accessibility%20Guide%20-%20DMH_London%20Mathematical%20Society.pdf) is so confusing. It confused me last time I looked at it, and I'm no wiser this time. It says there are raised and lower ground floor entrances, both with steps leading to them. But inside, there's an accessible toilet, a platform lift, and the guide goes into great deal about manoeuvring space and desk clearance. So they're expecting someone to be in there with a wheelchair. How? Bring your own ramp? There's no evac chair either, so I guess you have to hope you're not there the day it burns down. Can someone who's been to De Morgan House put me out of my misery?
