NIACE makes a commitment to disability equality Monday, January 12, 2009 - 10:49

NIACE has demonstrated its dedication to disability equality by signing the commitment called for by Lifelong Learning UK's Disability Equality Implementation Group (DEIG).

NIACE initiated and supported the Commission for Disabled Staff in Lifelong Learning and published the findings, From compliance to culture change, in March 2008.

Lifelong Learning UK accepted the Commission's recommendations and set up Disability Equality Implementation Group.

NIACE will review the Commission's recommendations and ensure that it fulfils the requirements.

David Ewens, Development Officer at NIACE, said,

"We urge all lifelong learning organisations, the trade unions, employer organisations, regulatory bodies and the infrastructure organisations that support them, to join us in the journey to disability equality in the sector."
