Supporting Students with Disabilities

The Disability Support Code of Practice provides useful information about a framework for the University’s support provision for students with disabilities and long-term conditions. The Code is reviewed annually to ensure changes in legislation and student finance are considered alongside feedback from students, staff, external agencies and other stakeholders.
