Dear Colleagues, The Special Education Needs and Disability Act (SENDA, 2001) and the QAA Code of Practice on Students with Disabilities will together require some significant changes in Higher Education. These will affect not just the institutions' physical premises but also important aspects of the curriculum and our learning, teaching and assesment methods. For this reason, the LTSN-GEES Subject Centre is holding a conference to alert academic staff in Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences to the implications and requirements of the new legislation and QAA Code and to discuss how in our disciplines we can offer a more inclusive learning experience for students with disabilities. The LTSN-GEES conference is free of charge and will be held on Friday 19 October in Coventry.
