Learning and placement support plans

If you have evidence of a recognised disability and/or long-term serious medical or psychological condition that’s been diagnosed by a medical professional, you’re likely to be entitled to a learning support plan as part of an overall support package.

Key benefits of learning and placement support plans

• They’re tailored to meet your specific needs.
• You have direct input into developing the plan to ensure you agree with the steps being taken.
• Your teaching team can provide you with discreet additional support.
• Your plan is in place throughout your studies and reviewed regularly, so you’re fully supported during your time at Canterbury Christ Church University.

I’m eligible. What's next?

You’ll be given an appointment with our Disability Team where they will work with you and your teaching team to develop and implement an overall support package tailored to you. They will also:

• Recommend and, in many cases, source additional support including adjustments to learning, teaching and assessment methods.
• Liaise with external partners, such as Student Finance England or specialist providers, to help you gain external funding to pay for disability support and specialist equipment.
• Consider any other entitlements such as initial reasonable adjustment plans, special arrangements for exams, and exceptional circumstances.
• If you have agreed assessment adjustments, it is important that you attach the cover sheet, provided for you by the Student Wellbeing Team, to each assessment that you submit.
