It's also worth flagging that there have been very sigificant anxieties expressed about the extent to which institutions have engaged with the legislative requirement to seek the active participation of disabled staff in FE/HE (see for instance the Commission for Disabled Staff in Lifelong Learning report).  There is arguably general / widespread / systemic legislative non-compliance / discrimination in this respect - especially in regards to equality impact assessments.  If we are to fully embrace inclusivity for students we also need to consider the role of disabled staff as role models.

To amend my previous email, the Strategic approach to disabled student engagement guidance was a joint publication between the Higher Education Academy and ECU.


Apologise for miss-referencing whose who produce the guidance.

	Hello, 
	
	In June 2010, ECU published a guidance document titled Strategic approaches to disabled student engagement. The guidance provides a practical focus on potential strategies and approaches that can be adopted by HEI'ss seeking to develop more effective ways of engaging and involving disabled students.
	
	Here is a link to the guidance: http://www.ecu.ac.uk/publications/strategic-approaches-to-disabled-student-engagement

	Subject: Consulting and Engaging with Disabled Students
	
	Hi everyone,
	
	I wanted to get some ideas as to how other institutions consult and engage with disabled students?
	
	Is this done via student forums or guild societies? Or on an individual basis via feedback forms?
	
	We have tried over several years to engage students with a Disabled Student's Network, leaving the agenda and direction student driven but supported via our service. The reception has been lukewarm (over several years) and we are looking at ways to improve this. We have tried at induction events to encourage people to sign up for the student's network but historically we failed to keep student's interested.
	
	What do other University's do?
	
	Best Wishes,
	
	Dominic
