At IHM, we’re passionate about creating an inclusive educational space where respect, dignity, and student rights are paramount. Our approach ensures everyone has fair access to learning opportunities, safeguarding their privacy. Students are invited to share any disabilities or special requirements as early as possible in their academic journey. This transparency helps us provide the most effective support, tailored to each individual’s needs while maintaining utmost confidentiality.
Our partnership with a specialised Disability Support Centre amplifies our commitment. This centre champions accessibility, offering bespoke services for those impacted by disabilities, health, or mental health challenges. IHM staff are trained to guide students to this supportive environment, where detailed discussions and personalised planning take place, ensuring every student’s unique needs are met and their educational experience is enriched.
At IHM, our goal is to dismantle barriers that students with disabilities encounter in higher education. We’re dedicated to enhancing participation, retention, and success for these students, with a strong focus on accessible learning environments. Our approach is not just about meeting needs; it’s about actively improving experiences and outcomes, ensuring all students have equal opportunities to thrive and succeed in their academic pursuits. This commitment reflects our core values of inclusivity and educational equality.
