Disabled Students’ Allowances Professor Geoff Layer

The Purpose of Higher Education To enhance individual life chances by encouraging and enabling individuals to develop their own capabilities To increase knowledge and understanding to benefit the economy and society To serve the needs of an adaptable economy, regionally, nationally and internationally To play a major role in shaping a democratic, inclusive society Dearing (1997) “university places should be available to all who were qualified for them by ability and attainment” Robbins (1963)

Drivers of Change DSA Reform Equalities Act Competition & Markets Authority White Paper – call for HEIs to do more. TEF focus on inclusive practice across all provision. )

Summary of Changes Change to traditional model of supporting individual learner needs. Many new students no longer entitled to less specialist support. Need for HE providers to develop a more strategic approach to inclusive practice. Social mobility a government priority – HE key role.

DSA – A Deficit Model Student Assessment Resource (£) Student Entitlement

‘The Pot of Money’ Managed by Disability Officers. Ring-fenced. Issue when money runs out. BUT … it is our responsibility.

Disabled Student Sector Leadership Group A range of HE professionals collaborating with Government to improve and incentivise the approach across the HE sector. Benefits Student Voice Inclusive Practice Reasonable Adjustments

The HE ‘Triangle Model’

Inclusive Learning & Practice “By inclusive learning…we mean the greatest degree of match or fit between the individual learner’s requirements and the provision that is made for them” The Tomlinson Report (1996) Inclusive practice …… Recognises the diversity of students Enables all students to access content, participate fully and demonstrate their knowledge and strengths.

Inclusive Practice Today Many HE Providers have disability disclosure rates close to 20%. Shift in approach needed to one which empowers the learner and is accessible. Empower individual learning.

Social Model of Disability Disability is caused by the way society is organised, rather than by an individuals' impairment or difference. It looks at ways of removing barriers that restrict life choices for disabled people. When barriers are removed, disabled people can be independent and equal in society, with choice and control over their own lives.

Reasonable Adjustments An anticipatory and strategic approach can deliver: A more inclusive learning and working environment. A more inclusive culture. Long term cost and efficiency savings. Independent learners.

Institutional Benefits of Inclusive Approach Benefits of an Inclusive Approach Brand& Reputation Quality Increased employment outcomes Improved teaching & loearning Cost & Time Efficiency Assurance & Accountability Improved Recruitment & Retention Better professional development Staff & Student Satisfaction

Stepping Up - Proactive Leadership Commitment and engagement of all senior managers. Proactively promote the benefits of inclusive practice and learning. Support current approaches e.g. HEFCE differential outcomes model in attainment and destination. Use research to inform and enable.

Getting Ahead Identify issues – review systems and processes. Develop and resource interventions. Monitor, evaluate and review. Continuous improvement. Address and resource key issues such as inclusive learning or advice and guidance. Take proactive action and create the conditions to succeed.

Getting Ahead Adopt the social model. Be holistic and institutional. Accept long term effect. Measure in outcomes not spending patterns. Lead by example. Simple actions can effect change.

A Challenge Help the DSSLG Are there specific barriers preventing you/your institution from meeting the DSA challenge? Let us know – help inform new work streams.
