I was writing my email to the SLC and realised it was not Ealing that was 'sensible/empathetic' (though Ealing have been generous in the past) but Richmond & Kingston (Achieving for Children) that allowed the student to keep the equipment - I felt it only fair to let you all know! :) From: Paul Smyth Sent: 11 January 2019 09:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: DSA Contact Hello all, I wonder if anyone could provide me with an email contact for the SLC or a DSA administrator? I have trawled the internet looking for an email address and it is clear that unless you want to complain, both would prefer a phone call rather than an email. The reason I want to contact them is unusual - a very sensible/empathetic Local Authority (Ealing) agreed that a student with a very significant visual impairment, who enrolled on an Access course at the college (and withdrew) could keep the equipment they had paid for while he was studying here (in the only other case I have dealt with like this - the college has held onto the equipment and used it for other students) for his HE studies. The equipment (a Macbook Pro/iPad) was extremely expensive and I just wanted to let the DSA administrators that the student had received the equipment. I hasten to add, not that I thought the student would keep quiet about it, but just for their information and for any possible assessor to be informed in advance (they could take this into account before assessing the student). I would also like to add that I told the student I would be informing the SLC/DSA administrators that he had been given the equipment. Can anyone help?
