Accessible Education Matters
Universities, colleges and other learning providers in the Post-16 sector know they must make facilities and curricula fully accessible to all students, and make reasonable adjustments for disabled staff. But how to do this? A key part of the answer is in training. In this detailed training resource, legal, disability and education experts pass on their experience along with guidance on disability issues, regulations and requirements.
Bring your staff up-to-date with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
It is only when teaching and non-teaching managers and staff understand the nature of disability and their duties under the legislation hat they can effectively create an inclusive workplace and learning environment. Encourage your key staff to undertake this training, and your organisation will benefit from better access and improved opportunities for disabled students.
Your managers and staff will learn:
-
the practicalities of disability
-
about the DDA and why it is necessary
-
to avoid discriminating against people with learning disabilities and other impairments
-
what constitutes reasonable adjustments
