Disclosure of Information to Auditor

Hartpury encourages participation in its learning programmes by all sections of the community and the industries it serves. Hartpury will endeavour to ensure that students with special educational needs and/or disabilities, including mental health conditions, are able to follow a programme of study most suitable to their needs with appropriate support. This support will be monitored, reviewed and amended as necessary. The Student Disability Policy complies with the SEN Code of Practice 2015 and the Equality Act 2010. Hartpury’s Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity Policy also states our commitment to ensuring that no student receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of any physical or other disability. Hartpury will keep the policy and its implementation under review to ensure that appropriate support is provided so that students can achieve their learning goals or renegotiate other appropriate learning outcomes within the duration of their course. Hartpury is committed to responding to individual needs and will endeavour to ensure that all resources are accessible and available to all students throughout their learning journey. At interview and on admission, students are eligible to receive the commitment outlined in the University Charter. An assessment of any help and support required in relation to special educational needs or disability will also be conducted. Where appropriate, Hartpury will seek professional recommendations, reports or background evidence to establish the level of support required. Within resource constraints, Hartpury will make every effort to provide reasonable adjustments to the campus and educational environment, including teaching rooms, timetables and accommodation, to ensure that a student’s needs are met.
