Support from academic staff

Is advice and support available from academic staff within the faculties of the University? How do students access this advice and support?

Students can access specialist support by speaking to their course staff who will refer them to the Student Services team or the student can contact the Student Services team

Staff continuity and understanding individual needs

Are the specialist disability staff in the team able to offer a personalised, bespoke response to a student’s needs? Where possible, is continuity provided for the student in meeting the same Disability Adviser and/or mentor so the student can get to know them over time?

The students’ needs will be handled on a case by case basis. The member of staff assigned to the student will offer a personalised, bespoke response and the student will meet with that member of staff regularly throughout so they are able to build a good working relationship with them.
