The Disability Service

We provide professional advice and support for students who are disabled and neurodivergent. We listen first to identify and remove disabling barriers. We empower students to achieve their full potential and support UAL to be inclusive.

If you become a staff member during any point of your student journey, support can be accessed through your line manager and the Workplace Adjustments Process. More information can be found through our staff intranet - Canvas.

The Disability Service is the first point of contact for queries related to an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
