I would suggest that the student does the teaching practice in a signing
school where an interpreter would be unnecessary.

Subject: FW: BSL Support for PGCE
We have received an application for a 1-year PGCE course from a deaf student
who's a BSL user. I anticipate she'll need interpreter and note-taker
support for 12 weeks in College, then interpreters full-time for 27 weeks in
school.
My rough estimate suggests that the non-medical helper support would
approximate £43,500; well in excess of the DSA Allowance of £11,840.
Has anyone else had to consider funding this? Are there any other sources of
financial support, or any adjustments that can be made to reduce the costs?
I hope someone can help!
