Inclusive or ‘designed for all’ assessment aims to enable all students, whatever their characteristics or background to engage in and demonstrate their learning. The university’s assessment strategy attention to design as a central component of inclusivity. Traditionally, discussions of inclusivity have centred around adjustments, such as extra time, provided for students to level the playing field and ensure equitable access to assessments. Such adjustments are often made at the individual level when students present with evidence for needing them. They typically have no impact on the design of the assessment itself.  The university’s strategic approach emphasises that inclusivity should be integral to an assessment and not simply a post hoc adjustment made for access purposes.
