ADM requires that halls of residence are treated as hotels, i.e. 1 for every 20, however, caution as the Equality Act requires services to be provided equally. I am currently developing an access standard for York St John University and discussing this issue. This will depend upon policy, if halls are provided for all first year students then these will need to provide suitable accommodation, for someone with profound needs a Part M facility will be insufficient and may require support worker accommodation. It must also be remembered that ADM hotels is a standard suitable for a couple of weeks not 13 week terms. If your colleague wants to give me a call we can discuss further.

Dear All, I've been asked by a colleague in our Accommodation team if there are any recognised standards for the proportion of designated 'accessible' (part M pack en suite) rooms that we should be providing in halls of residence for disabled students? Whilst we can look at the numbers of students we have, and therefore the demand for this type of accommodation, we are interested in if there are any official standards indicating the proportion we should be aiming for?
