Nottingham Trent University: improving student access
Abstract
The government has frequently stated its aim to include 50% of all young people in higher education, and yet there is still no strategic national plan that adequately considers the specific needs of students with mental health difficulties. Phil Scarffe, Mental Health Co‐ordinator at Nottingham Trent University describes how his Mental Health Support Team improves access for students with mental health difficulties, and explores how the Disability Discrimination Act applies to such students within a higher education context.
