Hi Sian
Surely the College insurance could be amended to cover this? Are staff required to take out insurance for college owned laptops etc. if transporting them from home to work?
In terms of modifying paper material, if all students only have to read the set papers then that should be Ok but if students are being encouraged to "read around" the subject, how will teaching staff ensure she has access to additional material?

Subject: meeting duties
Dear All,
I was wondering if you could help with the below question that I have
been asked to find out about.
Thanks
Sian
A VI student in college uses a CCTV to read her course materials - and
she can also access them - on paper - when the font size is increased.
We have a spare CCTV which we are prepared to lend her but the student
would need to take out insurance for capital equipment that is being
used at home or in transit. If she cannot pay the insurance are we still
meeting our duty by having the paper materials modified for her?

Subject: stethoscopes for hearing impaired nursing students
Dear all
Does anyone know of a shop or centre where a hearing impaired nursing
student can try out some of the different amplifying/ electronic
stethoscopes on the market? Although a Google search brings up several
manufacturers, I think it would be best if the student could try out
some of the kit before we go ahead and buy anything via DSA.
Any suggestions very welcome.
best wishes
Honey
