What we do and key contacts: Disability and Inclusive Practice Services

Disability and Inclusive Practice Services and the Student Wellbeing Partnership Service support all students to make a successful transition to university life, as well as providing specialist advice, guidance, activities and events for disabled students, care leavers, estranged students and student carers.

Disability and Inclusive Practice Service

The Disability and Inclusive Practice Service work closely with academic and professional services staff across the University to ensure that appropriate support and reasonable adjustments for academic study are in place for disabled students. You can contact the Disability Service at any stage of your studies, however, contacting them at the earliest point is the best way to ensure that the support you need is in place at an early stage.

Further information about preparing for university life, Lancaster support processes and campus accessibility and parking is available on our website.
