Dear All
Apologies for the delay - being new in the job I didn't know that
Southampton was one of the Russell group.
There are approximately 400 students with disabilities here, 150 of
whom have a specific learning difficulty (usually dyslexia).
We have two disability members of staff - I am the disability
co-ordinator for both Univ. of Southampton and University of
Southampton New College (formerly La Sainte Union CHE) on an 0.8FTE
contract. There is also a learning differences specialist for the
main campus, currently 0.2FTE but that is to be revised shortly, we
understand, to an 0.6FTE position. UoS New College has just agreed
to fund an 0.4FTE post in learning differences support.
In addition to those, we have a designated person in Admissions & one
in the Accommodation Office,each of whom handles all disability
related requests (as well as other work).
Regards, Deb
