I've had an interesting question posed to me this morning? Can the
institution get any help towards the additional costs involved in
having to go to a more expensive venue for a residential field trip,
to accommodate a disable student. My response was that the overall
additional costs would probably be considered as something the
institution would pay as a reasonable adjustment, and the care costs
would be met by social services. Does anyone know of any alternative
sources of funding for this sort of thing?
