Consultation and evaluation

How we govern and evaluate the Disability Inclusion Action Plan

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan Consultative Group oversees the implementation of the objectives of the Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2019-24.

This role includes monitoring performance and outcomes against the objectives of the plan and providing a forum for consultation with stakeholders, staff and students regarding the plan's success. The Consultative Group reports biannually to the University Executive on progress.

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan Consultative Group will meet twice per semester for the duration of the plan.

As an evolving plan of action, the DIAP is subject to ongoing feedback and review from the University community. Part of the Consultative Group’s role is to review this feedback and report the key points to the University Executive for consideration.
