Our Summer School activity - short courses, generating income - are having to reflect on this issue. The provision of auxiliary aids and services element of the DDA comes into force today, so it hasn't been legal requirment up to now. Next summer the Uni will have to provide support and a
contingency budget needs to be set aside. But I was wondering how private colleges who have been working to Part 3 of the Act (Access to Goods and Services) since it came into force a few years ago manage and what provision they have been making.
