Inclusive campus
Equality
briefing and process checklist
This publication makes the case for reinvigorating
inclusive design issues within institutions. Developed in partnership with the Association
of College & Business Officers (CUBO), it provides practical advice on how
to ensure that, for any major building or refurbishment project, inclusive
design issues are prominent.
Making
sure the campus environment doesn’t disadvantage sensory impaired staff
or students
This guidance was developed following an
investigation to explore and understand some of the barriers to inclusion
currently experienced by sensory impaired staff and students in higher
education. The investigation revealed recommendations for estates managers, but
also for a range of departments across institutions, including recommendations
for management, support service providers and learning managers.
ECU's second briefing about practical issues around religion or belief
This briefing discusses the provision of
facilities and services on campus from a religion and belief perspective.
Including case studies from institutions, the briefing features examples of
targeted services for particular religions or beliefs. It also discusses
institutions' responsibilities for ensuring that facilities and services do not
unlawfully discriminate on the basis of religion and belief.
Equality Bill
As the Equality Bill makes its way to the House of Lords, ECU, NUS and
AMSU provide a briefing on the implications for students’ unions
The Equality Bill is set to replace the
current framework of anti-discrimination legislation, with wide-reaching
implications for higher education institutions, including students’
unions. This briefing summarises some key implications and legal
responsibilities for students’ unions, with information useful for
students’ unions staff and officers with responsibility for human
resources, student activities and liberation.
