I've just had a look at the forms and like Natalya cannot see any change from previous years. Ian, the notes for section 5 says:
"The Equality Act 2010 has made it illegal for universities and colleges to discriminate against disabled students by treating them less favourably in their admissions policies or the services they provide. Under the Act, universities and colleges must make reasonable adjustments so that disabled students are not at a substantial disadvantage compared with other students who are not disabled.
This means that you can tell your university or college about your disability, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty in complete confidence to make sure that you receive the support you need. However, if you do not want to tell your university or college, you should include a letter explaining why you did not want to pass the form to your university or college to complete this section."
It is rather frustrating that there is still no part in section 5 that deals with FT UG's (where they are self-funding so need the university to complete section 5).
Thanks,
Anna
