It was suggested at the Disability network meeting held by Action on Access in June that people actually write into HEFCE to say about what the reduction in ALF money has meant to institutions in terms of diagnostic assessments rather than just put up with the reduction and say nothing. For us it has meant the introduction of students having to pay £50 towards their assessment. If anyone has time to email could they please tell HEFCE what the reduction in ALF money has had on the support for disabled students especially in regards to diagnostic testing in their University?
