Petition Action

Protect DSA (Disabled Students Allowance) Funding for all Support services.

Petition Details

In 2016/17 changes have been proposed to change the way Disabled Student Allowance is funded.
Non-Medical Support will now be funded by Universities instead of the government, but they will receive no extra funding.
Many fear this will lead to a cut in services which are vital to these students.
