I have a member of staff who is interested in this, but who is wondering whether anyone who has already attended the training could tell us of their experiences, and what amount of time commitment is involved (i.e. how many trips to Bristol)? Many thanks alice Alice Pennington Disabilities Officer Roehampton University Tel: 020 8392 3113 ext. 4088 Email: [log in to unmask] www.roehampton.ac.uk/disabilities -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.
