2. Student Liaison, Support and Guidance

The Enabling Team (formerly the Disability Team) is committed to the provision of confidential advice and support to students with disabilities and additional needs from application through to graduation. In general terms, Programme Directors are expected to have an overview of the approximate number of students with disabilities on their programmes, and the nature of these disabilities.

The Enabling Team will involve and/or consult with Programme Directors in the following situations:

• When non-standard reasonable adjustments that may conflict with core competencies, teaching aims and fitness to practice are required/requested
• When it is recommended that alternative assessment formats be adopted
• To report long / medium term absences where a student becomes unwell
• When the enabling team has strong concerns regarding a particular student with a view to setting up a Concerns Meeting

The Enabling Team are located in G18 of the Main Building and can be contacted on extension 4007 or via email on enablingteam@aston.ac.uk
