Disability and Specific Learning Difficulties

The Inclusion Office offers advice to staff, students and visitors and strives to promote inclusivity across the University.

We will support and assist anyone with a disability, including specific learning difficulties, mental health needs and with physical and unseen disabilities.

Changes to Student Support due to COVID-19

The Inclusion team is offering a blended and connected approach to advice, guidance and support throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. This means support is available in a combination of in-person and online formats to ensure you have the proper access to the support you need. If you are offered an in-person appointment, you will have to follow all relevant safety precautions.

Please first read the Reasonable Adjustments Guide for more information.

The Inclusion team is available via video, WhatsApp, email and phone. Where necessary and possible, face-to-face meetings with a team member may be possible, in compliance with all appropriate safety measures.

Reasonable Adjustments

Reasonable adjustments are the steps the University can take to ensure a student with a disability or additional need is not put at a disadvantage compared to other students on the same course without a disability

Who decides what reasonable adjustments I need?

Firstly, you will meet with Joanna West or Marcela Zambrano to discuss your situation and the reasonable adjustments available to you. Your file and supporting documentation will be forwarded to the Reasonable Adjustment Committee for approval.
