We are committed to promoting genuine equality of opportunity for disabled people and to creating a learning, working and living campus environment in which everyone can achieve full participation.
We recognise that ignorance about the nature of disability and the needs of disabled people can affect perceptions and influence behaviours at an individual or an institutional level, and that the consequence can be the denial of equal treatment to disabled people. This can take the form of direct and indirect discrimination, harassment or victimisation.
Our Disability Equality Scheme describes what we are doing to promote equal treatment and opportunity for all disabled members and potential members of our university community.
Our Scheme will be subject to constant updating as we continue to engage with our disabled students and staff in the course of implementing the action plan.
At the University of East London we aim to be an accessible and welcoming community for students and staff with disabilities. Evidence of our commitment comes in many forms. Two examples are that we have held Positive about Disabled People status since 2003 and that our Regional Access Centre was highly commended in its last national audit.
Of particular importance is our commitment to share as much information about ourselves and our estate as we can so that potential students can make an informed choice about whether we are accessible and whether we can offer a genuinely welcoming environment.
We are accordingly working closely with DisabledGo in order to place on an accessible website as much information as possible to help you decide whether the University of East London is the place for you. We really hope you find it is.
