So please if anyone notices errors or items that have changed please let me know as I would hate to mislead - I am checking links and resetting some to go to new pages as departments have changed names and funding has changed especially for those applying for Disabled Students allowances! I am also hoping to keep updating and adding news as we go along! Best wishes E.A. Mrs E.A.

It is split into stages of life and then lists: eligibility, support, assessment, equipment provision, review and change, audit, issues and statistics. http://techdis.palepurple.co.uk/sites/techdis Nice work EA. Cheers, Simon P.S. Sorry for cross-post, but I think this is useful!
