Do I need to disclose my disability or SpLD to my department?
We understand that you may have mixed feelings about telling us about your disability, long-term health condition, mental health condition, or SpLD. However, please be assured that the information you share helps the University to be proactive in putting reasonable adjustments in place to support you.
Telling us early will help you stay in control and enable us to work together to ensure appropriate support is in place for when you start. This will give you the best possible introduction to university life.
All sensitive information shared between a student and the University is protected in line with the Data Protection Act. Confidentiality is central to our work, and the University will not share your information without your written permission. However, in exceptional circumstances, we may be required to disclose information if there is:
-
An immediate and serious threat to your safety or the safety of others
-
A legal requirement to share the information
-
Serious concerns about your mental wellbeing
-
Professional fitness to practise issues
