This workshop will help you: understand the key requirements of an Access and Participation Plan (APP) and assess whether your institution is ready to progress from an Access and Participation Statement.
You’ll explore each component of the APP, including identifying risks to equality of opportunity, setting objectives, outlining interventions, and preparing evaluation strategies. By the end, you’ll be equipped to initiate your own APP development process with confidence.
