Your Input Sought for New Griffith Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
If you are a current Griffith University student living with disability, Griffith University would like to hear from you. Griffith is currently developing a new Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP). We are committed to setting and meeting high standards for institutional disability inclusion and providing an excellent student experience for all students across the full range of services. Along with the broader DAIP consultations, the University has commissioned an external review (Sept/Oct 2021) to focus on learning and teaching service provision for students with disability. This review will seek to better understand the experience and needs of students with disability in relation to learning and teaching and will inform the University’s action planning. Specifically, it will:
- assess the current state of play regarding disability inclusion at Griffith (within Institutional policy and legislative frameworks)
- provide a ‘sense check’ to assess whether Griffith is currently meeting the expectations of students with disability
- identify gaps, duplication or inconsistencies in service provision, and
- make recommendations on actions which would inform the new Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.
The review panel invites you to provide a written (or audio/other) response with a view to identifying opportunities and issues as well as high value actions Griffith could take to positively impact students with disability in relation to learning and teaching. Submissions can be provided confidentially via the linked survey form by 8 October 2021 or via email to dvce@griffith.edu.au. Areas on which you may like to make comment include (but are not limited to):
- accessibility of services
- strengths in service provision
- levels of satisfaction / resolution of issues
- communications about services / changes
- special considerations / exam provisions
- fieldwork / work integrated learning / placements
- ICT and digital platforms
- Library services
- awareness, attitudes and inclusive classroom and online practices
- clinical and/or laboratory-based learning and teaching
- campus specific issues
- levels of consultation with students with disability and with staff (academic and professional) supporting students with disability.
All submissions will be treated confidentially and data deidentified in all reports. Please note that information you provide will be used solely for the purpose of this Review and the names of individual respondents will not be identified in the final review report. Your submission will only be viewed by the Review Panel; however, submissions may be subject to disclosure under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) and Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld)
