Disability Liaison Officer (DLO)
Most departments and colleges have a DLO. It is a voluntary role that is taken on by staff members who have an interest in accessibility, in addition to their main job.
DLOs can be contacted with questions relating to accessibility in their department or college. The DLO network is administered by us and we maintain a list of who is in the role. Please email: disability@admin.cam.ac.uk along with the name of the department or college you require details for.
