Dr Faith Tucker, Dr John Horton and Dr Michelle Pyer have
been awarded a £3,000 Innovation Fund grant to develop resources to enhance
accessibility on campus.
Since 2005 the team have facilitated annual student-led
audits of accessibility issues encountered by students with diverse
disabilities. The project will build
upon this work by supporting student involvement in the production of
innovative maps, guidance and resources for disabled students, visitors and
staff at the University. They will be
working closely with the University’s ASSIST team.

In September 2015 a number of student bursaries will be
advertised. The successful students will
carry out site audits, consult with students with diverse disabilities, and
develop the resources.

| Current students with disabilities identified some ways in which accessibility could be enhanced - these three ideas will inform the project. |
