Learning Support

As an inclusive organisation, we offer a number of support options that help to fulfil the potential in current and future professionals from any background. 

Support for learners with disabilities or learning difficulties

We are proud of our accessible and inclusive learning facilities. These are available to all learners who disclose a learning difficulty or disability, in addition to a dedicated learning support team that provides information, advice, guidance and support.  

Our team are knowledgeable, friendly and handle everything in total confidence. They offer a wide range of support for sensory difficulties, mobility difficulty, ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, mental health, dyslexia, dyspraxia and general health problems.

If you are a new student, please contact us at learningsupport@bpp.com to arrange a centre visit and discuss any support required.


Disclosure and confidentiality

All information disclosed to BPP or discussed with a member of the learning support team will be dealt with in the strictest confidence. It will only be shared with staff at BPP and, where specialist support is provided, with our specialist support staff on a ‘need to know’ basis. You will be invited to complete a disclosure form so you can restrict where the information is shared. We will not share your information with your employers without your consent. We can also offer information and advice about how to disclose a disability, a learning difficulty or other health issue.

We encourage you to tell us about any learning difficulty, disability or health condition when making your application. This ensures that we can plan support in advance.


Safeguarding

Safeguarding is defined as the protection of learners and the promotion of their welfare. We take the wellbeing and welfare of all our learners very seriously. We have a dedicated BPP Safeguarding team, who work directly with the learners, as well as other BPP teams and external agencies to ensure your safety.

If you have any concerns about your wellbeing or safety or for another student, please contact us on: safeguarding@bpp.com


Financial Support

Disabled Students Allowance

If you are a University student with disabilities or learning difficulties, you may be eligible for the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA). We strongly advise potential applicants to apply for DSA as early as possible before the start of their course. Visit the GOV.UK site for more information on DSA.

Other sources of funding

You may be eligible for other funding if you are a student with a disability or learning difficulties. Please contact us for more information.
