Special Educational Needs and Disability Act Research, legal resources, and
dissemination (it relates to only to the UK, excluding other countries)
Ms. Foley wrote that:
" My problem was that i could not access the regulations under either of the
references given in the HE Working party papers, so I was not aware of what
is to be discussed. I will make another attempt today, in case Netscape or
Internet Explorer is in a better mood!"
LEGAL RESOURCES
For information purposes it is noted that
SENDA Draft regulations are available at a relatively more accessible format
at http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/senda2dr.htm
Similarly the SENDA full text as relates to higher and further education is
available at a relatively more accessible format with annotations at
http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/senda2.htm
the SENDA Draft Code of Practice for post-16 education is available full
text with the consultation questions at a relatively more accessible format
at http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/senda2c.htm

SENDA research (research on access to higher education by disabled students)
All these resources were developed upon request using very scarce personal
resources as a part of the only Uk-wide research project on the legal
aspects of the access to higher education by disabled students which have
been funded by the researcher through the employment income earned in
parttime contractual work, since October 1998. It would be extended to the
other legal resources, upon further requests.
See http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/index.htm for the research project
web site. See particularly the full text copy of the first and only
critique of the SENDA written in the early 2000 and published in December
2000 [Konur, O. (2000) Creating enforceable civil rights for disabled
students in higher education: an institutional theory perspective,
Disability and Society 15(7), pp. 1041-1063] at
http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/dspaper.htm . See also a series of
conference papers extending this paper at the project web site within the
higher education context rather than taking disability issues as an abstract
concept as done in recent months.
_________________
Research dissemination
Please also note that the researcher is prepared to develop and deliver
highly customised seminars, training sessions, conference presentations and
workshops on the SENDA and any other legal and policy aspects of the access
to higher education by disabled students supported by various stream of the
reserch project such as disability and higher education law and policy,
disability law and policy, higher education law and policy, discrimination
law and policy, special educational needs law and policy among others.
Hope this message helps for communication purposes
