Dear colleagues,

Evidencing equality: approaches to increasing disclosure and take-up of disabled students' allowance
This guidance aims to raise awareness of the many approaches higher education institutions can take to increase the level of disability disclosure and take-up of disabled students' allowance (DSA). It includes case studies from institutions who have successfully increased their support for disabled students.
Areas covered include:
· What disability information is available and what does it show?
· Why do students choose to disclose?
· Opportunities to encourage disclosure and take up of DSA
· Analysing and using evidence
Please find further details of the report below:
With best wishes,
