Latest Sector Briefings and Checklists from the NDT
Briefings launched in Autumn 2005
Mainstreaming disability:
This NDT briefing raises key concerns relating to mainstreaming disability
issues in small specialist colleges and suggests possible solutions that
may help overcome these challenges. Although this briefing has been
developed from the perspective of small specialist colleges, many of the
issues are applicable to taking forward the disability agenda and
mainstreaming disability issues in other Higher Education Institutions
(HEI) in the sector. This briefing will be useful for anyone who is
tasked with taking forward the disability agenda in an HEI.
Checklists launched in Autumn 2005
Estates:
This checklist has been developed to assist staff in HE institutions as
they consider the issues particularly relevant to the provision of support
for disabled students. The checklist raises questions relating to the
implementation of legislation and reasonable adjustments to facilities and
buildings for disabled students.
External Examiners Checklist :
This checklist for external examiners covers associated issues relating to
the assessment of disabled students that forms part of the peer review
process such as ensuring the appropriateness of accessible assessment
practices and tasks, and the validity of reasonable adjustments.
International Students:
This checklist refers to issues relating to disabled students from outside
the UK. It is important that staff with responsibility for recruiting
international students are aware of disability issues including specific
information about funding and availability of support. This checklist
provides key questions for teams and individuals to consider in their
provision for disabled students from outside the UK.
