Is there any support to help students with a disability find and undertake a placement?

Our Professional Training Portal offers Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) support for students who are considering a placement. The portal includes guidance on workplace adjustments and advice on when and how to share relevant information around disability and neuroinclusion with employers.

If you would like to talk through your individual circumstances, we are always happy to offer a “Chat PTY” session to support you on your personal journey. 

You can request this by raising an enquiry with the MySurrey Hive team on Surrey Support. Please select “Placements” as your enquiry topic.

You can also contact the My Surrey Hive team via Surrey Support, selecting Disability and Neuroinclusion as your enquiry topic to book an appointment with a Disability Adviser to discuss your individual needs and the support available. A Disability Adviser can work with you and, where appropriate, your academic department and placement provider to identify adjustments that may help you during your placement.
