Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of changes to departmental responsibility for the Disabled Students Allowance, where the minimum standards for disability adjustment that Higher Education Institutions must undertake are published.

As independent, autonomous bodies, higher education institutions are responsible for ensuring they comply with the Equality Act 2010’s provisions in respect of disabled students.

Guidance on the Act’s requirements is available from the Equality and Human Rights Commission; and guidance on managing reasonable adjustments in higher education under the Act is available from the Equality Challenge Unit.
