Specific Needs. NHS Tayside has successfully used a hierarchy of care model to plan and develop services for a range of care groups and a similar approach is described in the National Learning Disability Health Needs Assessment Report. The majority of people with learning disabilities are able to access community resources, generic health services or specialist community based provision. More severe challenging behaviour or forensic issues can be appropriately responded to by specialist community learning disability teams. Some people however require additional support from more specialist provision that may be provided on a Tayside wide basis.
Specific Needs. The learner is required to inform the Centre by identifying themselves as persons with specific needs and requesting the provision of alternative assessments and/or other support services that best meet their needs following the commencement of the course (within six (6) weeks prior to the assessment event). This may allow reasonable accommodation to be facilitated. This application must be in writing using the Reasonable Accommodation in Assessment Application Form (see Appendix 1).
