The Commitment, which was launched by the Disabled Students’ Commission in 2023, aims to secure an enhanced and improved experience for disabled students within HE. It calls on HE providers and other organisations – including Government, regulators and professional, statutory and regulatory bodies – to adopt and promote the Commitment.
The Commitment does not seek to replicate or replace legal duties but asks organisations to do more by focusing on how they can improve the disabled student experience. It specifically asks HE providers to review their practice across the student journey, from open days and admission, to graduation and employability.
