New guide to help disabled teaching and social work students
In conjunction with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) we have created an innovative new guidance kit to help disabled teaching and social work students to achieve their full potential. The guidance helps lecturers, tutors and others involved with students to provide vital learning support.
The 'Learning Support for Disabled Social Work and Teaching Students: A Guide' has been developed in response to the then Disability Rights Commission recommendation in its Maintaining Standards: Promoting Equality report which asked that all regulatory bodies provide guidance on reasonable adjustments and consider what other guidance is required to encourage others, such as universities, to adopt an enabling approach to disabled people. The guide itself is based around six different scenarios which highlight some of the common issues which require consideration when providing learning support.
