The Centre for Higher Education Practice (CHEP) in partnership with the Widening Participation and Social Mobility Team invites you to join their ‘Developing Inclusive Practice’ online workshops.
These events are suitable for Academic staff as well as anyone who might work in a student-facing capacity to learn about specific areas of inclusive practice and will play a key part towards the success of the Access and Participation Plan.
Widening Participation and Social Mobility aims to enhance the student experience by designing and delivering services that meet the needs of those underrepresented in higher education.
These sessions can be booked via Staffbook. Use the search term ‘Developing inclusive practice’.
