I don't know how high we are in the rankings but our recent QAA Insitutional Audit they identified the College’s active and inclusive consideration of issues to support learning opportunities for students with disabilities as a specific feature of good practice and have requested we write a case study for them to use as an exemplar.

Subject: Disabled Friendly Universities.
Can anyone please name me at least the top 10 Universities that claim to be disabled-friendly for students as well as staff in the United Kingdom?
According to an article in the Guardian, Oxford, Essex, Southampton and Cardiff were supposedly the first universities to develop disability friendly accommodation schemes- I’m guessing they would be the most disability friendly institutions, if they have continued to progress over time. Although they must be many more out there?
Many thanks,
Nadia.
As we know already that the policies and practices in universities have made it very much possible and very much normal for students with disabilities to achieve higher education, but is this also the same for academics with disabilities, and their career development?
