Accessibility and Inclusion Team
We provide comprehensive support for both new and current disabled students, including those with long-standing physical or mental health conditions, as well as neurodivergent individuals. Our goal is to ensure an inclusive and accessible curriculum for all. We offer guidance on Disabled Students’ Allowance, adapted accommodation, access to learning areas and teaching spaces, individual examination arrangements, and other reasonable adjustments. Additionally, we support students who may not have traditional support networks, including care leavers, estranged students, asylum seekers, and refugees. We also coordinate Specialist Mentoring and Study Skills Support through the Disabled Students’ Allowance.
