How is my support put in place?

Personal Learning Support Plan (PLSP)

Once you have provided supporting information about a disability, you will have a conversation with a Disability Adviser who will put together a Personal Learning Support Plan (PLSP). This is a document that recommends adjustments for your academic studies. This can be adjustments in the teaching and learning setting, in exams and assessments, practical or performance sessions and placements. The PLSP is a flexible document and the recommendations made can change depending on your circumstances and the demands of your course. It is an electronic document and held on your student file. Each section of your PLSP covers a different aspect of your study and is in a tab which you can expand to view.  You can access your PLSP on MyHud, click on My Details and visit the accessibility tab.

How do staff know about my requirements? 

Once the PLSP is produced, an email is sent to staff across the University who work with you.

• For undergraduates - Your Module Leaders, your Course Leader, your Personal Academic Tutor and the Library Disability Team
• For postgraduates - Your Supervisors and the Library Disability Team

When you register with the Disability Service you are asked to give your consent to share your information. If you do not agree to this, we are unable to share your PLSP with staff and the adjustments will not be made.

The PLSP can be used a basis for a conversation with staff you work with to discuss your support needs.

How do I review my PLSP?

If the impact of your condition changes, or you have a diagnosis of a new disability please email disability@hud.ac.uk to make an appointment with an adviser.

What if I have questions about the content of my PLSP?

If you have questions or feedback about some of the content of your PLSP, you can click on the 'Action' function and then click 'Feedback'. This will enable you to generate a message to Disability Services to tell us about the queries you have. We will get back in touch with you to discuss this further. Your PLSP will remain available to staff during this process.

If you disagree with all recommendations in your PLSP, you can use the 'Action' function to decline the plan. This will generate a message to Disability Services and we will contact you about this. Please note, if you do this, your PLSP will no longer be available to staff and the support will no longer be in place.
