This page is designed to look like a card index and appears to be made of parchment and oriental paper. It has tags across the top and cut out shapes down the left hand side. The links appear to be written on these. The Innovations Team logo is at the top left and shows through a cut out section of the page.
Action on Access was established by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department of Higher and Further Education, Training and Employment (DHFETE) with a remit to provide national support and co-ordination for the funding bodies' widening participation strategy. Elements of that strategy include mainstream formula funding, special initiatives, specific national development and pilot projects.
Members of the Action on Access team are committed to working towards a system of higher education which is more socially inclusive and more accessible to under-represented groups. Their work in underpinned by a belief that a concern for greater social justice and equity are important parts of the mission of publicly-funded higher education institutions.
