A gluten-free option, daily or weekly, will make the Trini Tea more inclusive for people with coeliac disease or who cannot eat Gluten.
While living and working on the campus for two years, I have seen Trini Tea provide gluten-free options when there are visitors but not everyday students/staff members and this feels disrespectful.
Coeliac disease is not defined as a disability under the Equality Act 2010 although it is a long-term condition. This can open up the canteen opportunities for those who can’t have gluten.
Coeliac disease is a long-term autoimmune condition and by not providing gluten-free opportunities in the Trini Tea you are making it much harder for those who can’t have gluten to eat lunch close by their lectures and with their peers.
If you can do it on an open day, you can do it anytime.
