answer text

The government expects all higher education providers to fulfil their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments for all disabled higher education students, not just those in receipt of Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSAs). DSAs remain available to supplement the reasonable adjustments made by institutions, and for the provision of more specialist support such as a mobility trainer for blind or visually impaired students. Students who wish to dispute their institution's provision of an assessed reasonable adjustment can invoke an exceptional case process under DSA. To date, fewer than 10 students have done so.
