Working Together: Teaching Staff and Students

Staff are encouraged to be responsive to the teaching and learning needs of all students. However, disabled students may have some additional educational needs. These pages contain guidance on helping your students, and how support for disabled students can be embedded throughout all stages of a student’s university experience. They are designed to run alongside the University's Framework for Supporting Disabled Students at MMU which provides key information about the University's Disability related policies, procedures and support mechanisms.
