Advance HE is conducting research on behalf of the Disabled Students’ Commission to gather the experiences of disabled students in higher education about the impact of Covid-19.
We would like to hear directly from disabled students currently studying at any level at an England-based higher education provider, to gain a rounded and detailed understanding of the impact of Covid-19. The survey aims to improve our understanding of the barriers faced by disabled students during the pandemic, as well as the lessons learnt that can help to influence and shape policies and support in the future.
The survey covers the following topics:
- access and transition to higher education
- your remote learning experience
- employability
- mental health and wellbeing
- support from your provider during Covid-19.
The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. You can return to the survey and at any time and all responses are anonymous.
The deadline for completing the survey is 5pm on Friday 11 June 2021.
