Inclusive Education in the Faculty of Arts
Inclusive education is at the heart of everything we do in the Faculty of Arts.
Working together with students and staff from across the Faculty as well as the Dean of Students Office, the Faculty DSEP team has created the following resources to help support departments' inclusive education action planning.
Inclusive Education Best Practice Toolkit Report 2023Link opens in a new window
Best Practice Toolkit is part of a series of inclusive education activities undertaken by the Faculty of Arts during 2023.
The project brings together a toolkit of student-led recommendations to inform future inclusive educational practice, with a focus on the Arts and Humanities.
The toolkit is a co-creation production involving student project officers working with student focus groups and staff from the Faculty of Arts.
Inclusive Education Best Practice Toolkit Report 2024
In this second year of the toolkit, the project team explored a fresh range of topics with a new group of student project officers and - through surveys, 1:1 meetings and focus groups – with a larger group of Arts students and staff.
Adopting an evidence-based approach, this report explores four thematic areas: interdepartmental communication, module choice, diversifying reading lists and accessibility of learning resources. The project has identified challenges to inclusive education in the Arts and created a series of student-led recommendations for improvements in educational practice.
Empowering Change: Arts Faculty Student-Led Toolkit Projects 2025
The Toolkit Student Projects 2025 is designed to implement key recommendations from the 2023/2024 Best Practices Toolkit report to directly address Inclusive education themes.
Three co-created, practice-based projects are launching this year, each addressing themes identified in the report:
- Peer Learning Group
- Decolonising Book Club
- Arts Student Works Assemble
