Hi all, I have replied off list to Simon - but what do others think? Can
the funding authority for this student's DSA suddenly 'change their
mind' at this late stage and on what basis? I would be interested to
hear views.

Subject: Transcription of course materials for BSL users
Hi All,
I need some urgent input on a case I am currently dealing with. I have
a BSL user, who requested that he be able to access support from a Sign
Language interpreter for the purpose of transcribing course materials
into an accessible format. This support was agreed in February of this
year.
SFD Pilots have now reversed their decision and said that they won't
support this application, as on reflection this is something the
university should provide.
I am stuck! Can anyone offer useful suggestions???......Please!
