For new students, who disclosed a disability at the application stage, the Disability & Wellbeing Service will automatically contact you before your course starts to invite you to complete our referral questionnaire which allows one of our advisers to begin the process of identifying the most appropriate support requirements and allow us to engage with you.

If you have not previously used our services and would like to make a disability referral please complete our request a disability referral form. We will then send you our disability referral email which includes our referral questionnaire and evidence upload link.
