<p>Higher Education Providers (HEPs) are responsible for providing reasonable adjustments
for disabled students under the Equality Act 2010, and since September 2016 expected
to deliver, as reasonable adjustments, less specialist non-medical help (NMH) previously
funded through Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) NMH Bands 1 and 2.</p><p>The government
expects all HEPs to meet their Equality Act responsibilities and to be making reasonable
adjustments for all disabled students, not just those in receipt of DSAs. HEPs are
entirely responsible for ensuring the support they offer disabled students meets any
legal requirements to which they are subject.</p><p>Students who enter into dispute
with their HEP over the support provided by their HEP as a recommended reasonable
adjustment have access to the Exceptional Case Process, which provides interim funding
to support DSAs-eligible students whilst the dispute is being resolved.</p><p> </p>
