|---|---|
| Our department is fairly clear about the educational objectives of the off-campus course elements (placements, expeditions, residence abroad); we have discussed the matter and are thus well-placed to consider reasonable adjustments. | |
| Our students are well-informed in advance of the nature of the off-campus course elements and of what they will have to do and provide to undertake it. It is a straightforward matter for disabled students to identify any potential need for adjustments. | |
| We are confident that any student who might require some adjustment to off-campus course elements knows how to request this. | |
| In those cases where we know (from previous disclosure or otherwise) that a disabled student is likely to require adjustment to off-campus course elements, we take action in concert with the student to ensure that appropriate and timely adjustments are arranged. | |
| We know that the off-campus component of the course is fundamentally accessible to disabled students, or that it can be made accessible by ad hoc adjustments. | |
| We know that reasonable alternatives to the off-campus course elements component exist and we can offer them, either as standard course components or in suitable cases where for any reason the off-campus course elements are not appropriate. | |
| The nature and limits of the applicable confidentiality are well understood by staff and explained to the students as required. | |
| Our students have encountered disadvantage and discrimination in the past at the hands of third parties. We have taken what action we reasonably can to ensure that it does not happen in future. |
Do your answers and comments above suggest that your department could make off-campus course elements more accessible for disabled students? If so, what action do you propose to take?
