Disability support
Welcome to Disability Services
Disability Advisers work alongside you to identify how your disability or condition impacts your teaching, learning, assessment and access to physical and digital resources, and to help coordinate support and adjustments.
Disability Services work with students who have a disability or condition which impacts on their study. This includes students or applicants who have:
- Specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia
- Ongoing mental health difficulties
- Long-term medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer, Crohn's disease
- Social communication difficulties such as autism
- ADHD
- Physical or mobility difficulties
- Hearing impairments or hearing loss
- Visual impairments

Disability Services End of Year Survey 2026
Please support us to develop and improve Disability Services by completing our End of Year Feedback Survey. If you have linked with us during this academic year, we would really like to have your thoughts and ideas about what worked well and what can be changed for the better. The survey is annonymous and it takes 5-10 minutes to complete. By completing the survey you will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win a £20.00 Love2shop voucher.
The survey is open until Wednesday 1 July 2026. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey.
