Significant involvement of disabled people at all stages e. Showing the context of data collected and services provided

9 DES Review: December 07 Best practice continued: f. Show understanding of Impact Assessments in your own HEI g. SMART Action Plans with performance indicators and monitoring h. Action Plans with staff responsibilities clearly indicated i. Clear information about reporting on progress annually j. Availability of the Scheme in different formats k. Indication of how the Scheme will be developed in the future.

10 DES Review: December 07 ‘Feedback to the Higher Education sector on Disability Equality Schemes’. Downloadable (free) from: These findings have been summarised in an ECU publication:

11 DED Action Plan Working with disabled people to identify barriers at your institution, the Action Plan of your DES should: Address the requirements of both the general and specific duties Indicate how you are going to address barriers Identify who is taking responsibility for individual actions Identify time and resources required for tackling barriers Draw in the results of Impact Assessments as they happen Monitor the implementation of the actions shown.

12 Actions Plans: July 07 Referring back to the list of best practice from the ECU Review: 1. Have any of those points been an issue for your Action Plans? If so, how and what have you done to resolve any problems? 2. What issues are arising about medium- and long-term implementation? 3. What practical steps have you taken/ could you take to drive the Action Plan forward?
