Hi all When loaning out laptops here we have to ask students if they have insurance that would cover the equipment, if they don't they can't have the laptops.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Claire Wickham Sent: 19 October 2006 10:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: meeting duties The problem might be that the College Insurance has a large excess, so that if the CCTV was stolen or damaged then it effectively would not be insured, as the College would have to pay for a replacement. If the risk factor is high, then surely the College could pay for the insurance?

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Davies, Sian Sent: 19 October 2006 10:03 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: meeting duties Dear All, I was wondering if you could help with the below question that I have been asked to find out about. Thanks Sian A VI student in college uses a CCTV to read her course materials - and she can also access them - on paper - when the font size is increased. We have a spare CCTV which we are prepared to lend her but the student would need to take out insurance for capital equipment that is being used at home or in transit. If she cannot pay the insurance are we still meeting our duty by having the paper materials modified for her? -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.

Although a Google search brings up several manufacturers, I think it would be best if the student could try out some of the kit before we go ahead and buy anything via DSA. Any suggestions very welcome. best wishes Honey -- Honey Lucas Disabled Students' Adviser Student Services Oxford Brookes University Headington Campus Headington Hill Oxford OX3 0BP Tel: 01865 484689 Fax: 01865 484656 Please visit our website for information about the Student Disability Service: www.brookes.ac.uk/student/services/disability/ **************************************************************** UNISON is fighting to defend pensions.
