My Department allocates significant resources to ensure that students can participate fully in their academic courses and are not disadvantaged by reason of a disability. The Fund for Students with Disabilities (FSD) is managed by the HEA on behalf of my department and provides funding to both further and higher education institutions for the provision of services and supports for full-time students with disabilities.
The institutions are responsible for the management and allocation of the Fund at local level throughout the year.
