This resource has been developed collaboratively with Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity (SWAI), Academic Registry, Enhanced Academic Practice (EAP) and Schools as part of a strategic project on student and doctoral researcher wellbeing and inclusivity, and contributes to our Education and Student Experience strategy.
The site clearly sets out our collective legal obligations, our University principles on reasonable adjustments and our individual responsibilities in the various roles we fulfil, including:
- What to do when we are worried about a student or doctoral researcher
- How we are notified of reasonable adjustments and how to act on this information
- How to make our teaching and research practice inclusive so that disabled students and doctoral researchers experience fewer barriers to learning
There are now dedicated School Leads for Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity, who can guide and signpost us to support for students and doctoral researchers. School Support Teams can advise who hold these roles within Schools.
Professional Services colleagues can continue to contact SWAI directly with any queries or concerns, by emailing studentwellbeing@lboro.ac.uk.
Professor Sam Grogan, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education and Student Experience, has welcomed this website, saying: “This resource will support staff in the vital role they in turn play in supporting our students and doctoral researchers.
"We are committed to ensuring that our high-quality education and student experience is accessible and inclusive, that our students and doctoral researchers feel well-supported and that our staff are also supported in this endeavour.
"Thank you, colleagues, for everything you do to give our students and doctoral researchers the best possible opportunity to thrive during their time with us.”
