Embracing people with disabilities in the veterinary profession
19 June 2025
'Embracing people with disabilities in the veterinary profession' provides guidance for veterinary schools, their students, and staff on making reasonable adjustments for vet students - or applicants - with disabilities.
It outlines high-level principles to support consistent, fair decision-making and to clarify how reasonable adjustments align with competence standards. Through accreditation of veterinary degree programmes, schools are expected to uphold educational standards while also meeting the diverse needs of their students.
This guidance includes examples of possible adjustments and is intended to support schools in meeting their responsibilities while maintaining the rigour of accredited programmes.
