Learning Support
If you have a medical condition, learning difference, neurodiversity, disability, or any physical or mental health difficulties, and feel you may require screening or adjustments for teaching or assessments, our Learning Support Team is here to help.
How We Can Help You
Reasonable Adjustments
If you have a learning difficulty or disability, you may be entitled to reasonable adjustments in your examinations and assessments with BPP.
You must contact the Learning Support Team at least one month before an examination to arrange any adjustments.
Application Disclosure
We encourage you to tell us about any learning difficulty, disability, or health condition when making your application. This helps us put support in place as early as possible.
Confidentiality
All information disclosed to BPP or discussed with a member of the Learning Support Team will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Information will only be shared with relevant BPP staff and, where specialist support is provided, with specialist support staff on a need-to-know basis.
You will be invited to complete a disclosure form so that you can control how your information is shared.
We will not share your information with employers without your consent.
External Exams
If you require adjustments or concessions for examinations with an external examining body, you will need to apply separately according to that organisation's requirements.
Please check the relevant examination board's guidance and deadlines for full information.
