Tell us about your access requirements

Last updated: 11/08/2025 10:32

How we can support you and what documentation you’ll need to access reasonable adjustments.

We're here to support students who have one or more of the following:

  • a physical or sensory impairment
  • a long-term health condition
  • a mental health condition
  • a specific learning difficulty
  • an Autism spectrum condition

Setting up support can sometimes take longer than expected, therefore letting us know about your access requirements as early as possible helps us look at what adjustments could be put in place to best support you.

Register for support

If you’ve told us about your disability, you’ll be prompted to register with the Student Disability Service by completing the Disability Support Form. This helps us to understand the adjustments you may need and advise you on the support available.

If you haven't told us about your disability yet, or you've not heard back from us - get in touch. We’re here to help.

Providing supporting documentation

To help us arrange your support, we’ll ask for some up-to-date supporting documentation. This documentation is required to confirm the need for adjustments and funded support.

This might include:

  • a diagnostic assessment report or educational psychologist report (for learning difficulties like dyslexia or dyspraxia)
  • JCQ Access Arrangements Form 8, or a headed and signed letter from you school listing the exam adjustments you had in place
  • medical evidence e.g. GP or consultant's letter
  • DSA Needs assessment report
  • a copy of your PIP award letter

If you don’t have the necessary documentation, or not sure what counts - just ask - we’ll guide you through it.

Late registration

It’s ok if you don’t register with us straight away. If you decide later that you’d like support, we can still help, just be aware it might take a little longer to get everything set up.
