Inclusive Education Policy

Inclusive Education Policy 2024/25

Inclusive practice is at the heart of effective education.

The aim is to maximise the opportunity for success for all students while simultaneously emphasising the liberation of historically under-represented or disadvantaged students. Achieving this aim requires removing systematic and cultural barriers and inequalities to participation, learning, engagement and attainment/success. In addition, some of these barriers for disabled students should be addressed through Reasonable Adjustments, a provision of the Equality Act (2010) for people living with disabilities. Reasonable Adjustments are an important mechanism and complimentary to this policy:

The UEA Inclusive Education Policy has 4 interrelated elements set out below.

1. Part 1: Inclusive Curriculum – the content of what is taught and learning materials

2. Part 2: Inclusive Assessment – the way student attainment is measured and qualified

3. Part 3: Inclusive Pedagogy – the way the content of the curriculum is taught

4. Part 4: Inclusive Environment – the non-classroom experience

The policy was approved by Learning and Teaching Committee in Academic Year 2021/22 and will next be reviewed in Academic Year 2024/25.
