How different conditions, impairments and differences affect students, and how you can support them in the best way:

Disclosing a Disability: Consent form

When a student makes a disclosure to a part of the collegiate University (for example, to their College, or to their Faculty/Department), that body must seek written consent from the student for the information to be shared with the ADRC. Download the Consent form

Completed forms giving the student's consent to share information should be sent to the ADRC's main inbox, disability@admin.cam.ac.uk
