Disability Advisory Group
At the University of Bolton we are committed to the promotion of equality, diversity and a supportive environment for all. For the purposes of this statement disability is understood in the broadest sense including physical and sensory impairments, mental health issues, medical conditions and specific learning difficulties which have an impact on day to day activities.
Joining Up Disability
In addition to the Disability Advisory Group, the University has a well established focus group for students and staff, this is the Joining Up Disability Group that meets once per term and has both students and staff who attend that contribute and advice on good practice. The purpose of the group is to foster inclusion for disabled students and staff throughout the University community by:
-
contributing to the formulation of strategy
-
preparing draft policy documents for discussion or commenting on policy presented
-
acting as a consultative forum for estates issues
-
advising on resource allocation
-
promoting awareness of the needs of disabled students and staff
-
implementing practical ideas for delivering the above
Membership is available to any staff or students who have an interest in this area and wish to contribute ideas to promote good practice.
