Students with disabilities will be considered on an individual basis and the School will make reasonable adjustment to accommodate individual needs depending on their assessment with the University Disabilities Office.
Personal Development Planning will be used to enhance student ability to reflect upon their learning within modules. It will be formally introduced to students at the start of each academic year.

This mechanism will include self-reflection, recording, target setting, action planning and monitoring.
