The Student Services (Teaching & Learner Support) unit is very grateful to the following for their valuable contributions.

Higher education institutions
We are extremely grateful to the higher education institutions who enabled us to film and interview students, tutors and specialist staff for the website.
Note that video footage of institutions sometimes shows buildings and structures that were not originally designed with access in mind. Although these are used to illustrate the kinds of barriers that can be met, the accessibility issues have of course been dealt with by the institutions in line with legal requirements.
