Hi Alison Students here can get a free parking permit without having a blue badge with these provisos: * They cannot occupy designated blue badge parking spaces; * They must supply relevant medical evidence supporting their application for this concession; These are vetted and processed by the Disability Service and sent to the car parking department. Hope this helps Patrick Adams Disability and Assistive Technology Advisor Phone: 0121 414 513012 From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.

Hi all, Can you let me know if your institution requires students to have a blue badge in order to get a free parking space at university. On one of our sites the staff do not want to give a permit free of charge to a student with ME because he doesn't have a blue badge (he's tried to get one but doesn't meet the strict criteria). We're trying to get an idea of the policy and practice at other HEIs.
