Yes...exactly Ros: we need to send off such a request and have so far been unable to obtain clarification of the procedure and to whom the eventual decision will be communciated. If anyone has solved this I'd love to know the answer.
with thanks,
Claire

It's my understanding from several sources, including Elaine Urquhart,
that there is no limit to how many hours can be recommended by a Needs
Assessor but that only 10 hours will be granted initially. Extra hours
will need to be requested at a later date (and in this case it could be
immediately ) and will need to be backed up by written evidence of need.
In the future this evidence is likely to be a standardised ILP.
What isn't clear, and what I am trying to find out, is where this
request goes. To SLC/LA or back to the Needs Assessor?

Subject: Needs Assessments and the 10 hour rule
Hi
I'm running into some difficulty with one of the HEIs whose students I
do Needs Assessments for. The disability service there is particularly
supportive and proactive. As a result, they often provide 1-1 dyslexia
support on faith - before the student has gone through the DSA process.
Consequently, I am assessing students who have already received well
over 10 hours of support in the current academic year.
I suppose I could recommend 10 hours - plus whatever has been provided
already. That could be quite messy though, as I could not reliably
quantify what has been provided, as I do not know how long it will be
before the awards officer agrees things (or not, as the case may be).
Hope that makes sense!
I'm coming under some pressure from the HEI and urgently need to resolve
this.
Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Peter
