From Compliance to Culture: Making disabled student support work in practice

 

Live event

 

Wednesday 29 April | 2:00–3:00 PM (UK, GMT+1) | Zoom

Expectations are rising. Is your institution keeping up?

Disabled student support is under the spotlight.

With renewed focus on disability commitments and increasing regulatory pressure, universities are being asked to prove more than compliance — they’re being asked to show real impact.

Most aren’t there yet.

This isn’t about policies. It’s about what students actually experience.

Join sector leaders and practitioners for a fast-paced, practical session on how universities are moving beyond reactive adjustments and building inclusive support that works in reality.

What you’ll take away

  • What’s coming next from regulators and how to get ahead

  • How to move beyond compliance and focus on what improves outcomes

  • Where institutions are getting stuck and how to move forward
    Practical ways to deliver inclusive support at scale

  • How to strengthen the student voice in meaningful ways

  • Clear, actionable ideas you can start using immediately


Why this matters

Expectations are rising. Resources are tight. The pressure isn’t going away.

The institutions that act now will be the ones that get this right — for students and for the future.
