The Equality Act 2010 places a legal obligation on institutions not to discriminate against learners with disabilities in their service provision (including resources and delivery of teaching). This obligation remains unchanged whether an institution is using a cloud computing service provider or a location specific provider.
Prior to using a cloud computing service, provider institutions should check that the means of service provision will not adversely impact accessibility. Further information on the obligations under the Equality Act is available from the Equality Challenge Unit and the Accessibility section of this website.
