Hi, Apologies if you see this in a few places. As some of you know, CHESS (Consortium of Higher Education Support Services with deaf students) ran two events earlier this year where assessors, advisers and others were invited to discuss and ‘fine tune’ a draft guidance document for assessors working with deaf and hard of hearing students. As a member of the CHESS Planning Group I am sending this out to the list to ensure that it is seen and used as widely as possible. Whilst it is designed for assessors it should also prove useful for advisers who are working with students who are not eligible for DSA or have not yet had their DSA assessment. The guidance document is on our website http://www.uclan.ac.uk/about_us/the_consortium_of_higher_education_support_services_with_deaf_students.php (at the bottom of the Information and Guidance section), along with information on support roles and guidance for teaching, assessment, English as a second language etc. If you are interested in joining the CHESS discussion forum, please go to https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=CHESSFORUM We are always happy to receive feedback and suggestions via the forum or you can send them to me directly on [log in to unmask] if you are not a member. Best wishes Natalya on behalf of CHESS Planning Group
