·         Producing Learning Support Agreements and reviews based on the outcome of assessments, medical evidence, specialist reports and Learning Support interviews.

·         Disseminate pertinent student information to tutors, Learning Support Officer, and other relevant staff in accordance with Disclosure Agreements, to ensure adjustments and ‘preferred way of working’ are accommodated
