The level of deaf awareness throughout the University will be addressed Students identified information that they would have liked to have been given when they came to Nottingham and they have collaborated on an information leaflet. This will go out to all new deaf and hearing impaired students for the next academic year, and the group is currently involved with the drafting of guidelines to staff. A Discussion Group has been set up which meets once a month to provide a forum for the exchange ideas and information. Students view this as an important source of support. Information has been gathered about social facilities on campus and equipment in Hall and problems identified.
Students have regular meetings with the project worker to monitor on-going needs and issues.
Issues raised by the students are under active review and equipment demonstrations and talks have also been arranged and links established with other universities and organisations. Our psychological well-being changes over time. For example, we may feel low or upset after suffering illness or loss, or anxious before an examination or interview. These fluctuations in our mental health may be relatively transient or last for some time. They may affect us a little or a great deal.
