The Disability team provides guidance on disability to staff supporting students and welcomes staff enquiries and discussion on disability related issues. You can find information about specific disabilities and the support offered to students here. There are several links to staff resources on this page and information on disability is also available through the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion pages.

Please note that staff disability matters should be referred to line managers/HR and additional information about disability support for staff can be found at the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion webpages.
