This paper provides an example of practice that outlines the benefits and challenges of creating School or Department level accessibility statements and the principles that can be followed when creating them. Like all methods of improving accessibility, there is no one-size-fits-all statement, but through demonstrating one possibility, this example will assist colleagues and other teaching professionals to create an accessibility statement that caters to their needs.The discussion is informed by the results of a staff and student evaluation of accessibility statements issued by the School of Chemical Engineering and the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham. These Schools issued accessibility statements to show their commitment to accessibility, create open dialogue around students’ varying requirements, and explain the accessibility features/limitations of their teaching and learning resources. <br/
