Tell us about your access requirements

Last updated: 14/08/2024 13:15

Setting up support can sometimes take longer than expected, therefore we encourage you to tell us about your disability as soon as possible.

We're here support students who have a physical or sensory impairment, long-term health condition, mental health condition, specific learning difficulty or Autism spectrum condition.

If you’ve informed us about your disability, you will be prompted to register with the Student Disability Service by completing the Disability Support Form. This form allows you to share more details about your support requirements, enabling us to better understand the adjustments you may need. It also helps us guide you on the available support and the next steps you need to take.

If you haven’t disclosed your disability yet or have, and you haven’t heard from us, contact us.

Providing evidence

We’re committed to creating an inclusive learning environment and making reasonable adjustments wherever possible. However, specific individual adjustments may be necessary to meet your support requirements.

To help us make these adjustments, please inform us of your access needs. You’ll be asked to provide up-to-date supporting evidence, such as:

  • diagnostic evidence e.g., a diagnostic assessment report, educational psychologist report for students with Specific Learning Difficulties
  • medical evidence (for example a GP or consultant’s letter)
  • DSA Needs Assessment Report
  • copy of PIP award letter.

This evidence is required to confirm the need for some adjustments and funded support. If you do not have evidence or are unsure of its suitability, contact us.

Late registration

You may decide not to register with us at the beginning of your studies but later realise you’d like some help and assistance. If you find yourself in this situation, we can still help you, though there may be a delay in putting support in place.
