Hi
Lesley - this has cropped up here with me today as well and also recently with a
proposed project to engage the views of BME students. Our view, after
some discussion, is that we shouldn't use disclosure or
monitoring information for targetted mailings since the disclosure has not
been made with that purpose in mind by the member of staff, or student.
For consultation we would put out an invitation to all students but make it
clear it would be disabled students we'd be interested in hearing from.
This has potential benefits in perhaps involving some students or staff who have
not (yet) declared a disability to the institution.
However,
I'd be interested to hear the view of other colleagues on this too, hence my
reply on-list,
best
wishes

Hello
all
If a person declares a disability
on their starters form (for staff) or their admissions for (for students), can
we use that information to target the relevant people with an email or other
correspondence regarding things like student support plans, setting up of
staff or student consultation groups, etc?
