Happy Friday from the STEM Positive Disruptor
3rd of December was International Day of Persons
with Disabilities 2024 this week
The theme was “Amplifying the leadership of disabled people for an inclusive and sustainable future”.
This brought to remembrance my conversation with Katy
Deacon, CEng FIET IET Trustee & EDI Chair. She spoke about the importance of inclusive thinking and changing the landscape for those with disability in STEM.

This week, Mckinsey & Company, said in an article “Accessibility:
Moving beyond one-size-fits-all solutions”, … True Inclusivity is more than
compliance or innovation – it’s about ensuring everyone can thrive, regardless
of their unique needs. By designing workplaces that embrace diverse needs and proactively
addressing barriers.
So as an Engineering organisation, are Persons with disabilities represented across all areas of your business.
