How IS can helpLeading DEI – software, support, bid process –
major initiative
Web upgrades for PGT and PGR, personas and their uses
Use DEI work to start dialogues about PGT
In all other work, ask the question – what about PGT students /programmes /modes of study etc.
Library and physical support – areas for PGT students
In all help encounters, consider background of students
