REAP was one partner in The Disability Effective Inclusive Policies (DEIP) project  which was funded by the European Social Fund. DEIP explored the ways in which the Higher Education sector can support equality of opportunity in education and employment for people who are disadvantaged through a range of disabilities, and who may also be disadvantaged because of their race, gender, class and / or age.

The project produced a series of discussion papers are designed to stimulate discussion in forums such as staff training sessions and in student seminars, though individuals may find these papers offer helpful sources of information for their personal use.

The content of the papers may be dated in some respects but much of the substance remains relevant and as such continues to serve as a valuable resource for policy makers and practitioners concerned with making education and employment more accessible and inclusive. The papers are not designed to offer authoritative advice and guidance on the topics discussed, rather, they are intended as resources to aid the discussion of complex issues and debates.
