I require communication support or a sign language interpreter; can this be organised in the UK?

If you require an interpreter you should contact the Disability Service in the first instance. There are limited numbers of qualified British Sign Language interpreters, so you should try to contact theDisability Serviceas soon as possible. For students using alternatives to British Sign Language (ie American Sign Language users) it may be extremely difficult to obtain this support in the UK.
