| Alex was elected as NUS Disabled Students’ Officer in February 2006 and began his term of office in July 2006. He completed his A-levels at night whilst working and then went on to study at Bradford University and Manchester University. He is in the middle of training to become a social worker and, before starting in post, worked for a homeless charity whilst studying. Alex believes in a progressive movement of disabled students working together collectively to further their rights to access education in an accessible way. He is particularly interested in cross liberation work and has served on both the NUS LGBT and disabled students committees.
