Our friends at @ChangeDisabled, along with @SnowdonTrust have released their 2024 Access Insights Report on the lives of disabled students. The Report suggests that finding support while at university is becoming easier, but we still have a long way to go.

I'm tired of having to prove to people that generative AI systems infringe by default, so here's a megathread of images I've prompted you can use in your discussions. Article by @GaryMarcus and myself at the end. 1/🧵
I see UUK is calling for students to retain access to CAMHS to the age of 25. Given the almost wholesale collapse of it in its current state and the staggering waiting lists, the word “retain” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
