Subject: A reminder to send in your registration forms
This
is a brief reminder to send in your registration forms to be involved in HEFCE
policy making over the next year.
The
Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) distributes public money
for teaching and research to universities and colleges in England; in 2010-11,
we will allocate £7.4 billion to universities and colleges to support high
quality education, research and related activities.
The
HEFCE needs to ensure that it promotes disability equality in every area of its
work. We would like to invite disabled people and people with experience
supporting disabled people in the sector to be directly involved in the design
and development of our policies and practices so that we can ensure it reflects
your needs and priorities.
We
are moving into the third year of our strategy, and would like to invite you to
visit our website at http://www.hefce.ac.uk/lgm/divers/involve/
to find out more about the activities and outcomes of 2009/10. Last year, we
had over 100 people apply to the scheme and are asking all of you to either
renew your commitment or send it on to interested colleagues/ networks. If
you have previously been involved, we request that you fill out a new
registration form to reflect any changes in your contact details, interest or
expertise. On our website, you will find copies of the registration form to
download as well as our monitoring form and terms of reference for the group.
You will also find them attached below.
This
will be a one year commitment and will require little to no travel. After
stating your interest and experience and the degree of commitment you would like
to make, participants will be contacted at various stages of the HEFCE
policy-making processes for input. Degrees of involvement can range from giving
feedback to consultations, contributing to impact assessments of various
policies to sitting on a project steering group.
If
you would be willing to help us shape our policies and ensure that we are
working proactively towards disability equality in the higher education sector,
please complete a registration form and equal opportunities form and send to Fariba
Dashtgard at [log in to unmask] or
telephone on 0117 931 7079.
We
would appreciate receiving your expressions of interest by 24 September 2010.
Sincerely,
Fariba
