Hello to all
Apologies for not giving clarification earlier.
The reason for seeking further information from GP's, where possible, would
be to provide a more seamless application process for students.
It is not sought to make it 'more difficult' for students to apply.
I do note the concerns about, amongst other things, resorting to a medical
model as a basis for determining the needs of students. It is not.
It is merely to provide further information, again, where possible, to SFE
Assessors, and potentially Needs Assessment Centre Assessors, on the
general implications a medical condition may have, or how it may develop,
The impact this has on education would of course lie within the expertise
of the Needs Assessor.
Please note that it is NOT a requirement.
Similarly, there is no SFE template. I do know that some HEI's and/or
Assessment Centres already use a template.
There are no plans at this point to have a SFE template either. What would
be useful is sharing practice on the content and format of a template.
I'm sure this, and other issues, will be explored over the summer as part
of, and in addition to, the amount of joint and collaborative events at
both a national and regional level.
Best wishes to all.
