Access and outreach for disabled learners

This Working Group is organised by Manchester Metropolitan University.

This group brings together practitioners from Outreach teams as well as those from Student Support to discuss their current practice and experiences of supporting disabled learners into and through HE. The group examines issues such as the respective benefits of targeted events versus inclusive events and the best approaches to making these events a success. Models of best practice are shared, assisting members in developing new activities within their own institutions and in refining activities they currently deliver.

Please join us and help to build this network. If you have any queries about this working group contact NEON.

NEON has created a TEAMs group for all NEON Working Groups. The TEAMs group will assist Working Groups share practice and collectively address the various challenges that arise in widening access. To be part of the group, fill in the form here.
