Disability and ill-health: Responsibility on students to follow procedures - PI091412
Public interest case September 2014 | Partly Justified
Northumbria University
Universities need to ensure that reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities are properly coordinated. We considered a complaint from a student with a severe visual impairment at the University of Northumbria that she had not been provided with course materials in an accessible format. Her Disabled Student Support Recommendations were that materials were to be provided electronically, in advance, so that her support worker could re-format them to the appropriate size.
