An Evaluation and Review of Welsh Higher Education Institutions' Disability Equality Schemes
Elliott T, Wilson C, Keetch D and Davies D (2009)
A report of research commissioned by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales. The aims were for HEFCW to have confidence that the Welsh HEIs are complying with the current Disability Equality Duty (DED), moving towards inclusion for disabled people and are appropriately preparing for the forthcoming single equalities legislation. The report identifies good practice in developing disability equality, and effective ways of sharing this practice.
