At a recent training event, we considered various consent forms and a few points that came out were 1. Don't outline disability - outline the relevant support being recommended 2. Actually list those staff / groups who may be informed 3. If student refuses permission, put a line at the bottom such has "if you change your mind, please contact XXX" to encourage disclosure at a later date 4. Keep it simple and easy for a student to understand, bearing in mind students with mental health / learning difficulties 5. don't make it look like a "contract" - it might put them off. These are general comments and NOT a critique of Jean's form.

The student then signs an agreed circulation list. Attached is a template.

This is the one we ask student's to sign to say they are happy for us to circulate their information in the University regarding support requirements etc. Would anyone be happy to forward the form used in other HEI's?
