This report by UCAS in partnership with Pearson, the leading digital media learning company, and the Disabled Students Commission calls for the journey of disabled students to higher education and apprenticeships to be made easier and earlier through the extension of Adjustment Passports, which currently cover the transition from higher education into employment, plus earlier engagement with university and student support, including the Disabled Student’s Allowance.
The report includes:
• detailed analysis of the record number of applications (83,220) made by people with disabilities between September 2020 and the start of the academic year in Autumn 2021
• the results of a survey of almost 5,000 UK people who applied to UCAS by its January 2022 deadline and shared details of a disability on their application.
