Notice Title

UK SBS Review of models of support for disabled students

Notice Description

HEFCE intends to conduct a two-phase review of models of support for disabled students in the HE providers that it funds. This tender relates to the first phase, which will review current levels of support and progress towards an inclusive model. This will then inform a follow up review to assess the impact of increased HEFCE funding to support disabled students. The review will provide evidence about how support for disabled students is currently structured and the progress institutions have already made towards an inclusive model of support for disability prior to the increase in HEFCE funding. The follow-up review will evaluate the progress made by the end of the 2017-18 academic year.
