Understanding Disability

Under UK law, a disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term effect on a person's ability to perform normal day-to-day tasks such as studying. In general, long-term means a condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, more than twelve months. If you are unsure whether your health condition or specific learning difficulty is considered a disability or not, please contact Wellbeing@rncm.ac.uk to arrange an appointment in order to discuss this.
