I have spent this morning in a heated debate about what is
discrimination and where does it fit with duty of care in
relation to students with mental health problems and the
admission process. I am not sure I am comfortable with the
procedure being considered here and would like to find out
(a) what do other places do (or don't do) and (b) has any
body else had these discussions and what was the result.
Specifically, I would appreciate if you could tell me how
you respond to application from students with mental health
problems? Who deals with the application - is it the
disability office? Do you ask for further information e.g.
doctors letter. What would you do if concerns were raised
about whether someone was well enough to attend University?
Would this affect whether an offer was made and who would
make that decision?
I would appreciate your views. If people respond to me
directly I would be happy to forward a summary to the list.
very unhappy
