1/5 The S. 2 years ago on Google
I
only
gave
this
one
start
because
I
could
not
select
zero.
My
son
has
just
started
University
this
week
and
today
took
part
in
a
trip
to
the
Mining
museum
arranged
by
the
University,
to
give
students
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
getting
to
know
one-another.
I
am
writing
to
express
my
disappointment
when
I
discovered
that
he
had
been
excluded
from
the
underground
tour
by
the
staff
due
to
his
disability.
After
reading
through
their
website
and
Facebook
page
I
found
that
it
does
not
state
anywhere
that
face
masks
must
be
worn
on
the
tour.
My
son
has
Autism
and
suffers
with
Anxiety,
he
was
wearing
his
sunflower
lanyard
and
University
staff
made
the
museum
staff
aware
of
my
son’s
hidden
disabilities,
but
he
was
still
denied
access
to
the
tour.
There
were
no
issues
with
him
being
around
the
other
tour
participants
as
these
were
all
his
fellow
students
who
had
arrived
together
on
the
same
coach,
and
it
would
have
been
possible
for
him
to
walk
at
the
back
of
the
group
so
that
he
would
have
been
more
than
2
metres
away
from
the
tour
guide
which
would
have
meant
that
the
guide
was
a
safe
distance
away
from
my
son.
I
feel
that
their
policy
of
excluding
anyone
with
a
hidden
disability
and
who
is
unable
to
wear
a
face
mask
for
medical
reasons,
should
be
made
known
to
the
public
on
their
website,
Facebook
and
any
other
platforms
they
use
for
advertising,
and
I
believe
that
it
is
an
absolute
disgrace
that
this
is
their
stance
on
selected
disabilities.
