As the Part-Time Accessibility Officer for the University of Leicester, I am personally invested in ensuring that our campus is accessible and comfortable for all students. This includes our autistic students and others with accessibility needs who deserve a sensory safe space on campus. 

The creation of this petition will gauge how many students on campus will benefit from a campus so that the University of Leicester can see the urgency of this safe space. Hundreds of students at our university could benefit from a sensory safe space - a quiet, calming area where they can retreat when overwhelmed by sensory input.

The lack of such spaces currently on campus is not just an oversight; it's an obstacle to these students' educational success and well-being. By creating sensory safe spaces, we can help reduce stress and anxiety levels among these students, improve their academic performance, and foster inclusivity.

Please sign this petition and pass it along to any other students you feel would benefit from a sensory safe space :)
