Hi, We employ an internal pool of notetakers . We do additional recruitment of notetakers during September to cope with the known demand (current students and new ones who we know about ) and allow for an additional need for the service from students who do not get in touch until after term starts. However, this year we cannot cover all the demand for notetakers due to more students than usual coming to see us and one or two notetakers resigning for various reasons. There don't seem to be any agencies where we can get temporary staff from (if HR allow) who might have the skills and awareness of what they needed to do. We may be able to recruit additional notetakers in the next couple of months, but this will not deal with the immediate situation. Any thoughts or ideas as to dealing with this situation would be very welcome. Thanks, Cheers, Liz Liz Silver Disability Officer Student Support Services Nottingham Trent University Working Monday to Thursday Phone: 0115 848 4495 Minicom: 18001 0115 848 4495 E-mail: [log in to unmask] This email is intended solely for the addressee.
