Disability equality impact assessment and Academic approvals: Inclusion at the heart of institutional change
The principle aim of the project is to establish how best disability equality impact assessment can be included as a required part of the academic approvals stage for new modules and new programmes.
The project has four key objectives:
To examine and explore the current evident base in relation to equality impact assessment as part of the academic approvals stage for new modules and new programmes with a particular focus on curriculum.
To establish an appropriate mechanism for this at Faculty Level with appropriate checks at Academic Approvals Committee stage
To facilitate a successful programme of change management to embed equality and diversity
To examine ways to successfully involve collaborative partners and key stakeholders in undertaking equality impact assessment for academic approvals
The project will form five phases of consultation and evidence generating to enable the University of Hull to develop and demonstrate the delivery of an informed disability impact assessment as part of the academic approvals stage for new modules and new programmes. Policy and procedure developed as a consequence of the project will be embedded into the wider diversity agenda and impact assessment for all equality strands
