Disabled students: Aspiration raising, outreach and transition
The National Disability Team (NDT), in conjunction with Skill, has been
asked to undertake a scoping study on behalf of the HEFCE and LSC. The
research will investigate the progression of disabled students and will
involve a literature study of existing resources and studies of outreach,
aspiration raising and transition of disabled students from FE to HE.
The study aims to:
§ identify existing provision, resources and studies relating to
issues concerned with outreach, aspiration raising and transition.
§ collate major lessons related to disabled people in the context of
current policy and practice
§ make recommendations to the funding councils to inform future
policy
The NDT request relevant information, including any research, reports and
examples of practice that would support this work. The first stage of the
research, focussed on outreach and aspiration raising, will be completed by
end October 2003. Therefore any immediate support that you can provide on
these issues would be particularly welcomed.
The overall outcome will be a report to the HEFCE and the LSC in February
2004 that will be published.
Please can you forward information electronically to Jaki Lilly

or by post to Dr Jaki Lilly, University Centre for Learning and Teaching
