Subject: RE: Sharing confidential information with academic staff

Dear all,

I am a disability coordinator. I get reports about students from the disability advisers. I circulate this to relevant members of the administrative and academic staff. Students are generally keen to have their disability recognised. About 90% of the students I deal with have a problem with dyslexia, and it is obviously particularly helpful for them if appropriate members of staff know about this condition.

I think what I do is fairly standard procedure in our University.

I hope this is of some help to other people.

Best wishes

Mark

Subject: Sharing confidential information with academic staff

Dear Colleagues,

I am wondering whether it is normal practice within other institutions to provide teaching staff with study needs information on their (disabled) students on a pro-active basis, ie do you email all appropriate tutors with the details of their forthcoming students?

If so, how do you manage this process and when do you send out the notification? Would you be willing to share any information with me around how this is done?

I would be grateful for any replies on this subject and would be happy to share back to the list if individuals are OK for me to do this.

Best wishes,

Lyn
