We presently employ a large number of postgraduates to support students with a wide range of disabilities. The postgraduates are always familiar with the content of the lectures, and are graduates from the relevant discipline to ensure that high quality notes are produced. This strict time limit ensures that students using the scheme are not at a disadvantage to their non-disabled counterparts. Once again, the cost of notetakers must be met by the Disabled Students Allowance, more details of which can be found here .

Accommodation is a very important consideration for a hearing impaired student.
Health and Safety This is of primary importance, and is always taken into account during the admissions process for HI students. We now have a number of rooms in campus halls which are fitted with vibrating pillows linked to the fire alarm system. These allow HI students to be made aware of the alarm being activated, but remain a discreet unit under the pillow. A dog run is located near the campus halls, and is cleaned regularly to ensure hygienic disposal of waste. An appointment system is in operation.
