Dear all,
Skill has experienced a signifcant increase in enquiries about the funding of rooms for personal assistants in university accommodation. We have been asked by the Department of Health for further information on the matter. We would like to know if you are aware of any students who have been unable to take up their place at university due to their home social services being unable to pay for an additional room for the students' personal assistant.
I look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Ellen
