4.00pm, Wednesday, 12th March, 2008
The seminar will report
on a recent study undertaken as part of the Disability Rights Commission’s
Formal Investigation into Fitness
Standards in Nursing, Teaching and Social Work. The research explored the process and
consequences of disclosing disability on professional training programmes from
the perspectives of disabled students. There will be opportunities to discuss
the research methodology and for participants to consider the implications of
the research for developing positive strategies for recruiting and retaining
disabled students on professional programmes.
