Digital Accessibility Hub

Digital Accessibility Hub

The Digital Accessibility Hub is a dedicated IT workroom that provides improved access for students with disabilities and long-term medical conditions.

Students must book an induction via Student Support and Wellbeing before access to the Digital Accessibility Hub will be granted.  The induction will introduce you to assistive software specific to your needs, if necessary, and will also cover safety, such as fire evacuation procedures, as well as our rules, which you will be expected to adhere to while using the Digital Accessibility Hub.
