Overview of Disabled Student information

In order to support a disabled student attending the University, information pertaining to the student's disability and support required is held on the student's record within EUCLID.  This information is managed by the Disability & Learning Support Service and pertinent information is shared with relevant staff within the wider University community in order to put the necessary support in place for a student's studies.   This information is mainly in the form of a Schedule of Adjustments that is distributed as required.

Information held and used by the Disability & Learning Support Service

The EUCLID system provides tools to allow the Disability & Learning Support Service (DLSS) staff to:

• record the history of contact with or regarding the students via a Contact Management System.
• record disability classification NB: this information is only available to the student and certain staff within DLSS, it is not shared with Schools without the student's permission.
• funding - who is funding the student's support, how much has been granted, how much has been used
• consent to pass on information
• Schedule of Adjustments

Information circulated to Schools and the wider University

Students who require adjustments to be put in place to complete their studies meet with an advisor to create a Schedule of Adjustments.  This information is circulated to the relevant staff at the Schools, Library and Exams Scheduling Team via EUCLID to allow those adjustments to be put in place.   The student is also able to see the same Schedule of Adjustment via their self-service portal in MyEd.

NB: these are restricted access points for disabled student support information. Schools and Services still need to establish their local processes for communicating and implementing adjustments.

• More information on implementing adjustments

Depending on the staff member's role, they receive the information via a different view or tool within EUCLID. 

• Coordinators of Adjustments (CoA) have access to the Schedule of Adjustments Inbox which has a dashboard that shows all adjustments in that School.
• Course Organiser/Course Secretaries (CO/CS) have access to the Course Adjustment Breakdown which lists all their courses and provide information on adjustments required for those courses. They can also view the Learning & Teaching summary (and print or PDF the summary to forward on to teaching staff)
• Teaching staff have access to the L&T summary either sent to them by CO/CS or viewing via EUCLID. (The latter requires CO/CS to attach the teaching staff to that course in the Course Adjustment Breakdown view).
• Student Advisers, PG Supervisors and Student Support Officers have access via the student’s EUCLID record for any student under their sphere (e.g. School for SSO, assigned students for SAs etc)
• Ad Hoc Staff can be added to have access to a particular student’s Schedule of Adjustment by the CoA.
