Where provision cannot be met by the University College, this will be made clear and possible alternatives, if available, will be offered. They are also on our web site. Most Benefits Agency and DfES literature can also be obtained in these formats. Staff Development Staff induction and staff development programmes include information on the support services available to students with disabilities, the range of disabilities within the University College and general raising of staff awareness. Further specialist training sessions relating to specific disabilities are also available.
Training is given to invigilators, admissions tutors and administrators is now underway.
These tutors will receive training and support. Disability Support Student Support Services work with individual students to assess specific requirements and possible provisions and adaptations. When claiming Disabled Students' Allowances, the student's Local Education Authority may require an assessment from an Access Centre. Staff advise on the location of the nearest Access Centre or can arrange for an assessor to visit the University College. Every effort is made to meet the individual needs of each student.
