DAWN Code of Practice and Disclosure of Disability Form
This webpage is part of the appendices for 'Inclusive Learning and the Provision of Reasonable Accommodations to Students with Disabilities in Higher Education in Ireland'.
Code of Practice and Disclosure of Disability Form
The purpose of this appendix is to provide a template code of practice and disclosure of disability form. The downloadable template provided was created by DAWN, the Disability Advisors Working Network. College staff can amend this template to use as a code of practice for their institution and can use the associated disclosure of disability form to inform students of their rights and responsibilities, and gain permission to disclose pertinent information about their disability to select college staff members, when it is necessary to provide the agreed upon supports.
Please note that if using this form as a template for your own institution, you should reference 'Inclusive Learning and the Provision of Reasonable Accommodations to Students with Disabilities in Higher Education in Ireland' as the source:
AHEAD & DAWN (2018), Inclusive Learning and the Provision of Reasonable Accommodations to Students with Disabilities in Higher Education in Ireland. Dublin: AHEAD Educational Press.

About the Road Map for Inclusion
'Inclusive Learning and the Provision of Reasonable Accommodations to Students with Disabilities in Higher Education in Ireland' is part of a series of outputs produced by the Association for Higher Education Access and Disability (AHEAD), in collaboration with the Disability Advisers Working Network (DAWN). It brings together two years of research on the inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education and concludes that an inclusive approach based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles would provide an effective framework to include and improve the retention of, not only students with disabilities, but a diverse range of students including migrants, mature students, international students, and students from different socio-economic backgrounds.
The values underpinning the Road Map series are explained in the following video:
