ESFA funding for additional support may be available. A Disability and Inclusion Advisor can help you to access this. 

Under the Equality Act 2010 it is a legal duty for all providers and employers to offer additional support as needed. 

Employer funded students may be able to access support in the workplace through Access to Work 

Some students are not eligible for external funding, for example international students or students on short-courses. Students may contact the Disability and Inclusion Services (link to booking appointment section) to discuss available support and reasonable adjustments.
