Disabilities and Specific Learning Difficulties
General Information
EBS London will make
every reasonable effort, within the resources available, to support
students with a disability (this may include mental health
conditions) or specific learning difficulty (SpLD).
Prospective students are
encouraged to disclose any disability or SpLD on their
Application Form. The
IPO, working with the Disability
Officer, will discuss specific requirements related to a disability
or SpLD with the applicant. A
Student Support Agreement will be completed, which details any
specific requirements for study. With the student’s agreement, this
information will be passed on to the study abroad organisation. All
discussions and information regarding a disability or specific
learning difficulty will be treated in a confidential manner.
If students require special accommodations for their studies
they are required to provide relevant documentation that confirms
any needs. For example, students with a SpLD (e.g. dyslexia)
should provide a psychologist’s report or equivalent, if they need
to receive extra time for examinations. The report should have
been carried out no more than two years prior to the student
joining the programme; and it must apply to when the student was
aged 16 years or over. If the report is in a foreign language, an
English translation must be provided.
Any data collected regarding students’ disabilities or SpLDs is
stored on the School’s student record system, which may only be
accessed by authorised personnel.
Regent's College Student Counselling
Service
Regent's College Counselling Service is a free,
confidential service available to all staff and students.
Counselling is a talking and listening process
that helps you to focus on and understand the concerns that are
troubling you. Some of the issues brought to the Service
include: anxiety, depression, family concerns, bereavement, work
and study related problems, worries about drugs/alcohol, sexual
concerns, eating difficulties etc.
By talking through your problems with a
counsellor, you may deepen your understanding of what is happening
in your life. You will be encouraged and helped to explore
feelings, thinking and behaviour where you may be feeling
‘stuck’. Through this process you should be able to develop
different and more helpful coping strategies.
Counselling is non-judgemental and your
values, choices and life style will be respected in a non-critical
way.
All client information is treated as
confidential, so you may feel comfortable and at ease in sharing
your personal issues.
Please contact the Counselling Service
