About the Guide

The Access and Success guide includes spotlights on the different target student profiles and explains the barriers they face within higher education. It also includes advice and resources so academic staff have the information they need to help support students within their department.Ìý

The guide covers the following topics and student groups:Ìý

  • The Access Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Contextual Offer SchemeÌý
  • Barriers to Higher Education and the Support AvailableÌý
  • The Access Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê CohortÌý
  • Care experienced and estranged studentsÌý
  • Disabled studentsÌý
  • Mature studentsÌý
  • Black, Asian and Minority Ethnicity studentsÌý
  • Young carersÌý
  • Forced migrantsÌý
  • The roles of Access and Widening Participation, and the Student Success Office, at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÌý

The guide is designed to be a useful tool that staff can refer to when advising and supporting students. ‘Widening Participation’ covers a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, and there is no ‘typical widening participation student’. Hopefully, this guide provides some context for the individual challenges certain student groups face and how we can work with them to better enable their success at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.Ìý
