    Apologies, I seem to have pressed 'enter' before being able to continue.

    I am disabled and neurodivergent, a recent graduate and have just started an internship, which is my first experience of the working world as a disabled person. I am an avid traveller at heart, having travelled to many countries across Europe. I am currently working as an intern in an international hotel group and have taken it upon myself to create a questionnaire to explore ways that hotels could better serve our collective and individual needs in an attempt to make a positive difference in this industry. Would it be appropriate to post the link here, or could anyone point me towards somewhere/someone else who this might be better suited for? Many thanks in advance!

    Heya @zelda_wheelz and a big welcome to the community. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Firstly, congratulations on the graduation and internship, that's amazing news! What're you focusing on now?
    We do allow research requests on the community, but we'd need you to fill in a quick GDPR compliance form, just to make sure everything's above board. I can pop it over to you in a bit if you wanted?

    @Albus_Scope thank you for the very warm welcome, glad to be here!! I graduated in contemporary dance, but my current internship, as above, is a totally different area. Having been to a number of places within Europe (not travelling further afield as yet because travel insurance is a pain), it is really great to learn about what goes into hospitality/hotels. I am not in the DEI sphere but that really piques my interest, and as someone who now has experience of being a hotel guest (some of which have been less than positive due to various access restrictions) and BTS info on the industry, Iโ€™m really interested in getting the wider communityโ€™s feedback. Going forward, I really want to use my voice for good, just as Sophie Morgan has done + is doing in the air travel industry, for example. Please do send that GDPR form over when you have the time, Iโ€™d love to get this out and get some traction ASAP! Thank you!

    Ah that sounds awesome @zelda_wheelz a very worthy cause indeed and a fascinating subject! I'll pop the forms over to you shortly to have a look at. It may also be worth emailing Scope as we're always on the look out for more stories and people to campaign. Here's a link to our research panel to get you started. ๐Ÿ˜
