Apologies
for cross posting
A
practical one-day event to enhance your institution’s approach to student
engagement by introducing proven approaches to furthering the involvement of
disabled students in higher education.
This
event forms the culmination of a joint Higher Education Academy and Equality
Challenge Unit project looking at the key area of effective student engagement,
and specifically how HEIs can ensure the involvement of disabled students in
institutional policy and practice.
Seven
HEI’s across England and Wales were chosen to participate in the project
and each institution formed cross-department teams drawn from a range of
university services including marketing, teaching and learning, institutional
governance, estates, staff and professional student services. The project has
culminated in a guidance document for the sector which will be launched at the
event. The guidance identifies a range of effective strategies adopted by the
participating institutions and demonstrates a finding that involvement
initiatives are far more effective and meaningful when a range of institutional
service areas work together.
Focusing
on strategic approaches to engaging disabled students, the agenda promises a
mix of keynote speakers, lessons from HEIs involved in the project, focused
workshops and a panel discussion.
