Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities
Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities promotes opportunities to empower young people and adults with any kind of disability to realise their potential in further and higher education, training and employment throughout the United Kingdom.
Skill works in partnership with disabled people, service providers and policy makers: tutors, lecturers, student services or welfare officers, disabled students advisers, learning support co-ordinators, careers officers, disabled students and their families or enablers.
What does Skill do?
Skill provides individual support to
disabled people, their families/enablers or people working with disabled people
by offering an information service by phone, minicom or letter publishing
books, booklets and information leaflets.
We promote good practice in further and higher education, training and employment by: organising regular events/meetings for staff development and mutual support offering a membership scheme with regular mailings to update members producing publications for staff, including a regular journal and good practice guides providing consultancy support.
We influence national policy about further and higher education, training and employment by liaising with government and government agencies participating in committees set up to influence national policy e.g. National Council for Vocational Qualifications.
