The Following examples are taken from the DDA "Code of Practice for providers of Post 16 education and related services". I hope they help.
"Example 3.6C
A university has a partnership arrangement with a college overseas. The university awards the qualification, but does not provide the teaching or any other services; the overseas college provides these. The university is not responsible for any treatment that the student receives from college staff because it is not made by or on behalf of the university."
"Example 3.6D
Another university has a partnership arrangement with a college overseas. The university provides the teaching on the course using its own staff. The university is responsible for ensuring that students are not discriminated against in relation to the teaching they receive because this is provided by the university."
"Example 3.7B
Students on a language course spend two months studying at a partner institution in Europe. Despite the work that the British institution has done with the European institution to explain the needs of disabled students on the programme, disabled students continue to complain that they have been discriminated against during their stay. The British institution is responsible for preventing the discrimination continuing or recurring. In this case, the British institution might decide to sever its links with that institution, and find an alternative partner."

Subject: Study Support abroad
Has anyone experience of or views on the following?
Students of Modern Foreign Languages may be required, as part of their
degree course, to spend periods studying at universities in other
countries. We have such students, both dyslexic and dyspraxic, who use
specialist study support here but it is not always possible to find the
equivalent for them abroad. Email has been one solution, but is not ideal.
What are dysforum members' opinions on the home institution's position
with regard to the DDA?
