I have separate central budgets for students and for staff. I also
get a proportion of the Access to Learning funds as well.

Subject: Re: Information on Central Budget for Reasonable Adjustments
for Staff
I have recommended that we
should have a central reasonable adjustments fund for students (and applicants
and visitors) where there is no other source of funding - there is some
acceptance of the general principle, but yet to actually identify the funding.
You may find it helpful to know that the DRC's Code of Practice for post 16
education includes several examples where it is implied / assumed that each
institution will have such a fund

That's really useful. Does anyone have anything similar with
regards to a central fund for student adjustments?

Subject: Information on Central Budget for Reasonable Adjustments for Staff
Dear Colleagues
I am preparing a short paper to present to our Equality Committee, suggesting
that a central budget be set up to fund reasonable adjustments for staff.
Kingston operates a system of devolved budgets so reasonable adjustment
provision can not only affect the budgets of departments and faculties
differently, depending on the needs of their staff, but can also be a barrier
to disabled staff requesting adjustments as they will be aware of the impact at
a local level and, may also be aware of staff already receiving funding which
may inhibit them from putting any more strain on the budget.
I believe the ECU is imminently producing such guidance but possibly not in
time for my paper. I am also aware of Access to Work arrangements and
funding but this doesn't cover everything.
If any of your institutions have a central budget could you possibly answer the
following or pass this to someone who can as I have already been asked what
other institutions do?
1. How much is annually allocated to this budget?
2. Who is responsible for deciding who gets funding and what is funded?
3. Does your fund include local alterations to buildings or just arrangements
for the workstation and auxiliary aids?
4. Who is responsible for administering the budget?
5. How does one apply for funding?
6. What is the average annual spend?
If you can think of anything useful that I should also consider then please
include it.
Many thanks
Kind regards
Tammy
