Hi Val
I would see this as the same as recording lectures, if a disclaimer is
signed which satisfies the other students concerns about the material
being recorded and the use of that recorded material, then there should
be no reasons for this refusal. However, if the students still refuse
then are they aware of the DDA and what proposals are they putting
forward for alternatives. Ultimately it is the Universities
responsibility to make reasonable adjustments under the DDA, with
consideration for all learners.
Tough call though, maybe the lecturer needs to be having more open
discussion with the group as to disclaimers, use of material and
reasonable adjustments?
Kind Regards

Subject: Students refusal to let disabled student record group work
We have recently assessed a student who needs, and is her chosen method,
to
record group work. However, the students in the group have refused to
let
her do this, although the lecturer is happy for her to do so. Does
anyone
know what the legalities and solutions are to support the student?
