Educational Support Workers (ESW)

Students who have a disability or a specific learning difficulty (including dyslexia) may require additional support whilst studying in College. DS maintains a register of Educational Support Workers (ESWs). This is a list of people who are available to work a few hours each week when required.

Examples of support include:

• reading support for visually impaired students
• note-taking in lectures for students who are deaf, hard of hearing or have difficulties with writing
• providing assistance in workshops, and laboratories for students who otherwise have difficulties participating in practical sessions of this nature.
