A service from scratch
Dear Alice
 
Having done this when demand was much less, I strongly suggest that you start with SKILL publications - www.skill.org.uk
 
I'd also warn the students that every job will take at least 28 days and take some time to inform yourself or casework will take you over!
 
Best of luck

Hi there,

I have recently assumed the responsibilities of  Disabilities Coordinator. Up until now our Counselling services have had the responsibility of assisting any students with disabilities  at this University.

I am currently reviewing the system/ service for disabilities within our institution. Plus I am learning on the job with new and old students to support. I would be grateful if you could advise me on the following.

Training - where is the best place to get training and find out what I need to know to do my job well and of course within the law.

Resources - students who need assessments.
General Guidelines - There are a lot of areas to cover having some basic guidelines would initially be a great help.
Policy - I need to review our Universities policy to best accommodate the students who are currently here and those who are applying.

Or if their is anything that you think might be helpful to someone like me then I would be grateful.

Thanks very much and I look forward to receiving replies from my very first DIS email.

Regards

Alice
