DIVERSASIA - Best practices

I welcome this guidance from the Disabled Students Sector Leadership Group, which will support all higher education providers in expanding their inclusive teaching and learning practice, bringing benefit to them and their students. It draws on the significant work already being undertaken across the sector. This sector led group first met in April 2016 with the aim of using the wealth of expertise that currently exists in higher education to share suggestions for practical interventions. This guidance is the result of that desire to work together for the benefit of students and higher education providers. The principles of inclusive practice are well established, as are the benefits that they can bring to students and to state-funded and independent higher education providers. This group is an excellent example of how the HE sector can work together for the benefit of all students, supporting this Government’s social mobility agenda – giving everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, the chance to study at higher levels of education.
