Disability & Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Support

Our Disability and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Team, part of Student Services, is experienced in giving advice on the support available for students with disabilities and SpLDs.

We are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for students with disabilities and specific learning difficulties (SpLDs). We aim to encourage an inclusive environment which enables our students to develop their skills, knowledge and strategies to manage their own learning and to realise/achieve their full potential through:

· providing advice and co-ordinate support in relation to disabilities and specific learning differences

· promoting independent study and contributing to the further development of an inclusive curriculum

For more information on how the Disability & SpLD Team can help, please see read our Service Statement and Support for Success brochure.
