Disability Inclusion Partnerships
Disability Inclusion Partnerships (DIP) is a grant opportunity under the Going Global Partnerships programme, designed to foster partnerships between higher education institutions in the UK and Ukraine in the field of disability inclusion and support for people with disabilities.
The grants support institutions to identify and address barriers to participation, progression and success for people with disabilities, while strengthening disability-inclusive policies, systems and practices through international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Disability Inclusion Partnerships promotes sustainable institutional change, including:
- strengthened institutional leadership, governance and capacity to implement disability-inclusive policies and practices
- more accessible and inclusive learning, teaching and research environments for students and staff with disabilities
- improved evidence and understanding of barriers and enabling factors affecting the participation, progression and success of persons with disabilities in higher education
- implementation of policies and frameworks that support disability-inclusive practice and sustainable institutional change
- strengthened collaboration with organisations of disabled people, employers and other external stakeholders to support participation and progression beyond higher education
- greater involvement, voice and agency of disabled people in shaping institutional policies, practices and decision-making
- greater integration of intersectional approaches into institutional decision-making, policy and practice.
