- Getting course materials printed in different page or font size to those already provided to ensure they meet your needs
- Getting transcripts for videos and image descriptions
- Facilitating access to adaptive technologies that may assist your study experience
- Information and links to other accommodations or resources to support your learning
Confidentiality
At Land Based Training we strive to meet the below best practice standards with regards to the use of any information provided to us from students about their disability status:
- Impairment information is only sought to arrange support and disseminated only to staff on a ‘need to know’ basis, with the learner’s permission.
- Staff receive information about the individual needs of disabled learners in a clear, effective and timely way.
- Staff protect an individual’s privacy and only disclose impairment information with the learner’s permission and for the provision of effective learning support.
- A safe environment is created for learners to disclose impairment information in line with the disclosure provisions in the Health and Disability Commissioner Act and Privacy Act.
To best meet your needs, we may need to discuss your situation with staff and/or external services. Before we do this we’ll seek your permission and talk through what information we’ll share. If you have any concerns about your privacy and confidentiality, then please let us know.
