As part of our new pilot scheme, 12 students joined our Student Services team as Disability Coaches this month.
The coaches – who are all students and have lived experience of different disabilities – are trained to assist with student disability support, including:
- Initial support enquiries
- If you would be eligible for support
- What is a support plan and what support you may be able to get
- What services you can access
- How to obtain medical evidence
- Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) applications and queries
- Helping you to order your DSA Equipment
- Helping you to contact your DSA non-medical help provider
Meet the coaches
The Disability Coaches run a drop-in session, which takes place in person, in the Alsop building from 11am-3pm every weekday.
You can also meet the Coaches remotely, 12pm-2pm every weekday via this link: https://tinyurl.com/disabilitydropin
