| ACCESS
The Academy is committed to a policy of widening access to its training courses and recruits students from all areas of the community including those from deprived social areas, minority ethnic groups, the disabled (including those with learning difficulties) and lifelong learners through outreach work and liaison with specialist organisations. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES STATEMENT
The Academy has an ethos, developed over nearly 100 years, of welcoming students from across the social and cultural spectrum. Students are offered places at the Academy on the basis of their talent and suitability for the industry, regardless of gender, race, creed, colour, religion, age, physical impairment, learning difficulties or any other factor. The Academy has an Equal Opportunities Committee, which includes the Principal and Student Course Co-ordinator which meets once a term.
DISABILITY STATEMENT
The Italia Conti Academy is aware of its obligations and responsibilities under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001. Students are protected under the terms of this act. | | | Italia Conti has long been associated with the development of artistic individuality. Audition procedures are designed to uncover talent, temperament and charisma and are not based on any specific ideal. We therefore welcome applications from disabled persons and are more than happy to discuss individual cases where potential students need guidance as to their suitability for the courses offered by the Academy. Students with a physical or mental impairment will be auditioned under exactly the same criteria as able-bodied students. Further information can be obtained from the Course Co-ordinator, whose name will be given upon request. Our Avondale site is a building on four levels and a wheelchair ramp is available to cover the steps leading to both entrances. The Academy is in consultation with the Disability Rights Commission regarding the access and disability policy. VISUALLY IMPAIRED
