About the Reasonable Adjustments Case Studies
As part of the Implementing Reasonable Adjustments Project (IRAP), these case studies have been submitted to enable the University to respond to the current legal context following recent high profile legal cases involving Universities, in particular the University of Bristol v Dr Robert Abrahart case.
The objectives of the Implementing Reasonable Adjustments Project are to:
- Support disabled students by updating our practice and process to ensure students receive the reasonable adjustments (RAs) they require for the learning environment in a timely manner;
- Support staff to confidently and effectively implement reasonable adjustments at the point of need;
- Identify any system and process barriers that might disadvantage disabled students and drive improvements in operational processes and systems, in support of the efficient implementation of reasonable adjustments;
- Support long-lasting and sustainable change in the above areas, through the engagement
and involvement of key stakeholders.
