Inclusive Practice Toolkit
This resource underlines the specialised nature of disability support and equips practitioners to develop the professionalism involved in assessing student need, recognising the need to ensure consistency in the process by which students are supported across our partnership. The resource highlights our legal obligations and responsibilities (both individually and institutionally) towards disabled students and outlines practical steps each one of us can take to ensure our practice is accessible to the students we work and interact with. I encourage all staff, professional services and academic alike, to refer to and make use of this resource.
