Foreword

The University of Dundee is fully committed to promoting disability equality for all staff, students and other members of the University community. This commitment is central to the University's Corporate Vision and Strategic Plans. We aim to provide a truly inclusive and equitable learning environment that fosters a positive University experience of the highest quality for all members of our community.

The University recognises the importance of involving disabled people in the development, monitoring and review of our Disability Equality Scheme, and welcomes contributions from all sections of the University community to our response.

The University acknowledges our responsibility to ensure that the aims and values of disability equality are promoted through the implementation of this Disability Equality Scheme and associated Action Plan. This is a key element of our Equality and Diversity strategy and demonstrates our commitment to the removal of barriers to access, the elimination of discriminatory practice and the promotion of equality of opportunity.

I am therefore happy to commend this Disability Equality Scheme and Action Plan.

Sir Alan Langlands

Principal and Vice Chancellor
