Services for students with disabilities: an overview

The Student Services team are the central point of contact for students who wish to discuss any requirements in relation to a disability.

Individual requirements will be varied, but may include some or all of the following examples:

Provision of a confidential advice and information service

Liaison with any external support agencies

Establishing physical access requirements, which can include adjustments to student accommodation

Co-ordinating the provision of equipment where appropriate

Co-ordinating provision of auxillary services e.g. mobility assistance, emergency community call-out services

Providing assistance with applications for Disabled Student Allowance either through Student Finance England or your Local Education Authority and organising needs assessments.

Co-ordinating arrangements and providing access to additional learning support, e.g. scribes, communicators, dyslexia tutors, additional time in exams and so on.

If you have not already done so, you can declare a disability at any time during your course. We would advise you to do this as early as possible, to ensure that the Student Services Team has the best opportunities to arrange and co-ordinate any support requirements you may have.
