- The named contact for students with specific learning needs, e.g. Aspergers or ADHD. We can work with you to help address any disability-related barriers which are likely to affect your academic progress.
- The main contact with Course Organisers & Course Administrators regarding the implementation of necessary adjustments.
- A liaison with the School Disability Contact & Student Disability Service as required.
- Have knowledge of key disability issues that students may be faced with and attend training events to keep up to date on these.

If a need arises for an adjustment that requires further support, the Coordinator of Adjustments will liaise with the School Disability Contact. The School Disability Contact will then try to solve any issue, and will liaise directly with the Student Disability Service as required.
