Presentation
This session highlights an approach to enabling and embedding reasonable adjustments for postgraduate research (PGR) students. It'll highlight the holistic approach to developing PGR-specific guidance, the groups engaged in that process, and ways to embed awareness and implementation of adjustments. The speakers will cover key questions, topics, and challenges that arise when developing dedicated policies or guidance statements, as well as examples of adjustments at important points in the student's journey.
