It’s once again time for DACA to launch our access feedback survey! 🎉
This is a survey where we ask you as disabled students and carers to feedback how the university can better support you in your access to education. Have you had some bad experiences that you want us to tell the university they need to fix? Is there something that’s gone particularly well this year that you want the university to be aware of? Let us know by following the link in our link tree to ‘Access Feedback Survey 2024/2024’.
We look forward to hearing from you!
