A successful bid to the Higher Education Funding Council has resulted in an increased support service for the Students with Disabilities at Liverpool Hope. The Support Service provides advice and support. All students who declare a disability before coming to Hope are contacted by the Support Service and asked to make contact to discuss their needs. Students are again informed of our services when they register if they state they have a disability.
Any student can make contact at any time to discuss any of their support needs.
All contact made with the Support Service is confidential, although if students need support from other areas of the college, information will need to be given to relevant staff. This will not be done without students' permission. The Co-ordinator for Students with Disabilities is involved with a joint bid with Merseyside Society for Deaf People, to increase awareness regarding deaf issues at Hope. We are also hoping to recruit more deaf students into higher education. Any student who would like to visit and discuss their needs before applying to Liverpool Hope must feel free to do so.
