Accessibility

Inspiring Choices is committed to making our work as accessible and inclusive as possible for everyone, including individuals who are SEND, disabled or neurodivergent. We consider a wide range of needs, ensuring that our resources, events, and communications are clear, adaptable, and supportive. We are always striving to improve our practice and share good resources. To find out more have a look through our dropdowns below.

Workshops and Campus Visits

All Workshops and Campus Visits

In order to prepare young people for our workshops, please read more information about our Outreach Coordinators. You can also view our slides about every member of staff. The relevant Coordinator slide will soon be used at the beginning of every workshop.
We follow our Brand Guidelines, Accessibility Checklist and a Colour Contrast Checker to ensure our workshops are accessible, engaging, and interactive.
We are continuing to update our website in order to help both professionals and young people feel comfortable, and more prepared for our campus visits, workshops or any other events.

Campus Visits

You can access our portal which has further information about campus visits (previous schedules, visual stories, and important documents) to feel prepared ahead of your campus visit.

Please get in touch if you have a specific question about accessibility - inspiringchoices@yorksj.ac.uk or j.ely@yorksj.ac.uk

Disabled Student Allowance (DSA)

Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) can provide additional support to help with the study-related costs you may have because of a disability, long-term health condition, or mental health issue.

You can receive DSA on its own or alongside your regular student finance. Unlike student finance, the type and amount of support you receive is based on your individual needs — not on your household income. Any financial support received through DSA does not need to be repaid.

You can find out more information about DSA here: https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowance-dsa

We signpost and explain DSA in all workshops relating to higher education (HE): Campus Visit workshops, Budgeting, Financing your Degree.
