How does the Equitable Learning Service work ?

An Equitable Learning Advisor will meet you and develop an individualised learning plan ( Equitable Learning Plan - ELP ) based on the medical / professional information provided by you . This plan may include :
• adjustments to classroom environment
• adjustments for the exam environment
• provision of course materials in alternative formats
• provision of enabling assistance staff – notetakers , participation assistants
• provision of captioning and / or assistive technology
Each person ’ s plan is different – designed to suit your individual condition and course of study . The ELP is then shared with your course convenors and Academic staff .
