Social Model of Disability
We're proud to adopt the Social Model of Disability. This states that society creates attitudinal, institutional, and environmental barriers which excludes people with impairments from participating in society. From this perspective, people with impairments are not inherently disabled. However, people become disabled by a disabling society and the solution is therefore to remove these barriers. For more information, please refer to the Inclusion Scotland website.
Creating an inclusive environment for our students
At City of Glasgow College, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for all students. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential, and our dedicated team is here to ensure that any barriers to your learning are removed.
Because we're committed to disability equality, if you need reasonable adjustments to participate in college life we'll do all we can to meet your requirements.
