Hi,
I recently had to phone a LA
about this and they said that as long as the year abroad was part of the
degree: i.e. the credits the student gained while abroad would replace the credits
they would have had in their second year at UWE, they would continue to fund
the support.

Hi Alison,
from an assessor's point of view I've recently had a
similar situation of a student needing NMH support going on an exchange to
Australia. I can't see any reason why the funding body shouldn't fund the
support through the DSA if it can be arranged in the host university and if the
exchange is integral to the course. I don't know the outcome of my
recommendations yet - (The student should just about have gone to Australia
around now. I'll try and find out.). I'd think it would be the Student Advice
Centre's role to sort out the support and the funding body's
responsibilty to pay for it. I'm only surmising though. Sorry to be so
vague.

Subject: Supporting students on exchange
Hello all,
I wonder if you can advise…
We have a student with cerebral palsy who is hoping to go on an exchange
programme to a university in Australia. She has a lot of Learning Support
Assistance at University and also a lot of personal care (full-time carer).
Has anyone come across this
situation before?
Do you know if DSA can be
used to pay for support in a foreign institution and, if so, how does is work
(I have asked DSA at Darlington about this too)?
Do you have any experience of
providing personal support at foreign institutions – is it Social Services responsibility
to sort it out and pay?
Any advice gratefully
received!
Best wishes,
Alison
