Hi Sid,
We have a Code of Practice on theEmployment of Disabled People which was
first published in 1991/2 but has been updated to take account of the DDA
and other internal changes. I will ask my PA Lynn to send you an electronic
copy. I will ask her to see if she can get a copy of our student policy in
a similar format. The student policy was drafted most recently as part of
the Disability Statement first required by HEFCE around 1997 and 1999. We
also have developed an internal policy which was designed to inform/remind
colleagues of our requirement to comply with the QAA Code and the University
EO Policy. The student policies will be further reviewed as part of the
preparation for our new legal duties under SENDA from September 2002.
Hope this is helpful.
As ever,
Derek
