Dismantling Barriers to Student Participation

Book a place here.
This session is for all staff who interact with students in any capacity. It will explore how students’ experiences of university may be affected by their personal background. Particular attention will be given to those characteristics protected in the Equality Act 2010 (including age, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability) and monitored in the University of Reading’s annual Access Agreement (including educational background and household income).

Through interactive activities, participants will be equipped to:
• Reflect on our individual and institutional expectations of students.
• Recognise the ways in which our practices might exclude or disadvantage certain students.
• Take local action towards making the University of Reading a more equitable and inclusive environment in which to study, work and live.

This session aligns with A2, A4, A5, V1, V2 and V4 of the UKPSF.
