University, Student Disability & Info

Hi Guys

Since dx in Oct 07 and treatment I am concerned about returning to my job as an outdoor instructor. I feel like I will be constantly putting myself at risk of Lymphoedema in this role and it something that I will worry about, I’m hoping to return to ‘normal’ and try to move on, but if it’s constantly at the back of my mind, I won’t be able to do this.

Anyway, I’ve decided to look at changing careers to Teaching, I’ve applied for for course, but can I get any assistance or is possible to register a disabled students in terms of chronic illness and cancer? Has anyone any experience of potential assistance that I might be able to access?

Sorry for long post, but was wondering if the knowledge was out there.

Thanks Ang xx

Hi Ang
hmmm… looks like nobody knows… would it be worth looking at the DfES website… unless it’s changed it’s name again? I’m pretty sure there is a section for students on it. Hope it helps
