I am unsure if this has already been distributed to Disability Officers but just in case it hasn't, please find attached recent guidance produced by NATFHE, the DRC and Skill on recording lectures which we are asking institutions to disseminate widely.
On a related point, we have been asked a few times about hand-outs, OHP transparencies, etc. and copyright. According to NATFHE, it is clear within the national contract that course materials even if produced by the lecturer are the intellectual property of the institution. NATFHE have said that they will always advise members to a) adhere to the terms of the national contract and b) to make a reasonable adjustment to enable disabled students to enjoy the same access to education as non disabled students.
Many thanks - wishing everyone a happy happy festive season!
