When booking into sessions, students request adjustments and this information is passed on to the lecturer in time to prepare for the sessions. Students with physical disabilities, such as wheelchair users, are paired with more experienced students to support them, the lab has adjustable lab benches and extra time is given to allow for movement between labs. A student with extreme fatigue was supported by providing longer breaks and a taller lab stool. To support people with anxiety, briefings are given online before attending labs allowing for familiarisation, and providing the opportunity to ask questions.

Another student identified that they would need a larger lab coat, and the approach of requesting adjustments at the point of booking the session gave time to source one for the student. Feedback from students about specific adjustments has been positive, highlighting that they feel supported. Offering familiarisation prior to labs through online briefings, a virtual lab tour and multiple routes to ask questions, both orally and in writing, benefits all students not just those with anxiety.                  

For various reasons, not all students disclose a need for adjustments prior to attending lab schools. There is storage space close to labs meaning any additional equipment is easily accessible. Extra staff help to support adjustments which students request after they arrive. There is a culture of sharing equipment between departments and sharing expertise between offices when adjustments are requested which have not previously been implemented.

Students don鈥檛 have to tell you they need an adjustment but it鈥檚 in everyone鈥檚 interest to flag when they need one to allow time to prepare and reduce the need to make adjustments on the day.
