Our Approach
We believe in:
- Student focussed allocations
- Hassle-free arrangements
- Student choice and empowerment
- Flexibility in delivery
- Adaptable support for changing needs
We are continually adapting to the changing world of DSA and NMH services. Through a combination in-house developed technology like the Amano App, and also the introduction of new quality measures, via facilitiies such as our online consultant e-learning resource we make sure that we continue to meet expectations.
We understand that putting good quality student support in place is a team effort. By working closely with local HEI’s, disability teams and assessors and by always putting the student’s needs first, our joined-up approach ensures that all our stakeholder’s needs are met.
