Introduction and Service Structure

Trinity College Dublin Disability Service (DS) promotes the needs of students and staff
with disabilities in the college setting by providing advice, support, and academic/work
accommodations in partnership with students/staff and academic departments/work
units. The DS also provides advice and information to applicants, makes referrals, and
advises academic and administrative staff on issues pertaining to barrier‐free access and
disability‐related issues.
The DS in Trinity College Dublin has developed an Outreach, Transition, Retention and
Progression Strategic Plan 2011 – 2014 which develops clear and effective support
systems at all stages of the student journey. This strategy supports students with
disabilities across their college career, from pre‐entry to employment. It takes a strategic
approach to enhancing the student experience by engaging prospective students, current
students, and staff, with the intention of improving practice and implementing change
across the whole institution. It is an example of evidence‐based practice using on‐going
data collection and evaluation to improve the student journey, which is delivered in
three phases:
Phase 1: Pre‐entry, admission and the first year experience.
Phase 2: Building and maintaining a college career.
Phase 3: Progressing through College to employment.
For further information on the Disability Service Strategic Plan 2011‐2014 please review
information on the web at: http://www.tcd.ie/disability/projects/index.php.
The DS strategic plans are also aligned to the following internal strategies:

During the past twelve years the DS has undergone enormous growth and
development. The number of students registered with the service has grown from 64
in 2000/01 to 911 in 2011/12 and a comprehensive range of supports have been
developed to enable students with disabilities to pursue degree programmes across all
faculties. The core budget for 2011‐12 allocated via the HEA Access funding model
(based on number of non‐traditional students) has increased the allocation to the
Disability Service (€480,174, 38% of total Total Allocation from HEA
2011/12 €1,263,616, €274, 616 increase 2011 over 2010 (28%)).
The DS employs 10 full‐time staff and over 40 casual educational support workers who
provide direct support to over five hundred students with disabilities.
Arising from the requirements of the Disability Act 2005, the Disability Service leads on
ensuring College meets its obligations under this act, primarily access to buildings,
information, goods and services and employment of staff. A Disability Act 2005 Annual
report was presented to the Equality Committee in March 2012 and can be reviewed at
the following web link: http://www.tcd.ie/disability/banner/Links/Annual‐
reportsstats/index.php
The College Disability Service is located within the Student Services function in College.
In terms of policy development and accountability the reporting relationship of the
Service is as follows:

Executive Summary
This annual report covers the academic year 2011‐2012. Key highlights and performance
indicators are reported following the three phase strategy in progress in the Disability
Service. Financial information and appendices include a risk register are also included with
key statistics.
Key highlights for 2011‐12:
Phase 1 (Pre‐entry & First year experience) highlights
The number of students with disabilities indicating TCD as a choice on CAO form in
2011‐12 was 990, 703 applied through the DARE scheme (71%) & 401 (57%) were
eligible for consideration. This is up 10% on last year;
170 applicants with a disability accepted a Trinity offer, 93 having achieved the
required points for their course of choice, 77 students (57% increase on 2010)
accepted a place through the DARE scheme;
TCD reviewed and revised the national DARE criteria for Deaf & hard of hearing and
students with specific learning difficulties;
Pilot of Pathways to Trinity workshops for second level students with 12 students
and 10 parents / carers attending;
9
Phase 1 strategic plan and suite of initiatives presented at the first national
conference of Project IRIS (Inclusive Research in Irish Schools) held in Trinity; also
presented at the HEA (UK) Retention Conference in March 2012 and included in the
HEA Compendium of Effective Practice;
Report produced on the First Year Experience of DARE students (n = 74 responses).
Key findings: 50% of students found registration problematic/confusing, 90% did not
have the appropriate academic skills required for third level study. Most students
indicated ease of transition was related to appropriate course choices, and 60%
identified a positive message of ‘can do’ that made a distinct difference to success
and engagement. Results suggest that future pre‐entry work should focus on
providing accurate and in‐depth course specific information, academic and study
skills need to be embedded within programmes in the first semester; the process of
student / institutional engagement has to begin at pre‐entry, prior to the orientation
period.
The Asperger’s Syndrome Website http://www.tcd.ie/disability/AS/index.html was
developed by the Unilink Service and seven students with Asperger’s Syndrome. This
website hosts seven videos of students with AS describing their experiences of
college life with AS. The website was launched by the Minister for Health, Dr James
O’Reilly in Trinity Long Room Hub on 3rd November 2011. The AS Support Service
Website was nominated and shortlisted for two e‐Government Awards in the
Accessibility and Education Category.
Phase 2 (Progression and Retention) highlights
10
Number of enquires (internal (student/staff)/external 17,231;
The Disability Service currently supports 911 students with a disability with the total
registering with the service in 11‐12 was 348;
A retention rate for disabled students of 93% was achieved against a College; in
addition 66% of graduands with a disability achieved a first class or upper second
class degree last year (further updated when Senior Lecturer report is published);
The Disability Service reviewed the College Calendar in relation to clearer and more
inclusive policies for disabled students following a legal opinion on reasonable
accommodations. A series of recommendations went to the Undergraduate Studies
Committee for approval in June 2012. Key recommendations includes issues relating
to non‐attendance, separating illness from disability in calendar sections, fitness to
practice issues and more flexible examination arrangements for disabled students;
The College Code of Practice for disabled students was revised to align with changes
to the Disability Service Strategic Outreach, Transition, Retention and Progression
Plan 2011 – 2014;
LENS reports were disseminated to Schools via Share Point during 2011/12. This
replaced the problematic distribution of Lens reports via email and lead to a better
system of communicating the support needs of disabled students. Each School now
has a secure folder for Lens reports and is responsible for circulating them internally.
In total, there are 265 Lens reports on Share Point during the year;
11
The number of assistive technology (AT) student appointments & referrals for AT
assessment, loan of equipment has continued to increase in line with the DS student
numbers.
The Unilink Service supported 318 students experiencing mental health and/or
physical and sensory difficulties over the past academic year to date;
Unilink also provided a Leisure Enhancement Group for students with Asperger’s
Syndrome over this academic year, the group was provided weekly both on and off
campus. Ten students with Asperger’s Syndrome availed of the group;
The Unilink Service Code of Practice was developed and approved by the College
Student Services Committee;
Unilink in collaboration with TCD Equality Fund , TCD Staff office and the Student
Union developed the ‘5 A Day for Mental Health’ booklet, leaflet and website. This
was a project to promote positive mental health throughout the college community
and staff. The website was launched by Alan Quinlan, ex‐Rugby Player in Health and
Sports Week in March 2012;
The Unilink Service provided an Outreach, shared service model to Dublin City
University and Dublin Institute of Technology. The Outreach Service supported over
fifty students with mental health and physical/sensory difficulties in these HEI’s.
12
Presentations at CSSI and IES conferences on the Student Journey model of support.
The Phase 2 presentations focused on outcome measures for retention, progression
and identifying risk factors for disabled students;
To improve the safety standards for disabled students, staff and visitors in the event
of building evacuation or lift failure, Evac chairs have been installed in 15 buildings in
College during the summer 2012;
As part of the development of supports in line with the phase 2 objectives to build
and maintain a college career, placement guidelines for disabled students on
professional courses have been initiated. These guidelines will be finalised in 12‐13
in consultation with course providers, students and placement co‐ordinators;
A case study on the Trinity Inclusive Curriculum was published in ‘The Dynamic
Curriculum: Shared Experiences of On‐going Curricular Change in Higher Education’;
Trinity Inclusive Library strategy delivered on all set objectives. This strategy covers
policy, training and awareness, resource provision, and services and facilities within
the library. A full report on outcomes was presented to the College library
Committee and linked here:
http://www.tcd.ie/CAPSL/TIC/projects/inclusivelibraries/;
National Copyright Review Submission – The DS collated and submitted a response
to the Copyright Review commission highlighting the need to engage publishers in
the provision of accessible intermediate electronic copies of resources for readers
with print disabilities;
13
Institutional award – TCD received JISC TechDis OASES Award for Institutional
Progress on Equality using Technology: In December 2011 TCD was chosen as one of

Leonardo ‘Univers’ Emploi’ www.tcd.ie/disability/projects/Phase3/Leonardo.php
project with three other Countries supporting fifteen students as they completed
14
their final year and transitioned onto employment/further study. All students were surveyed
at the end of the year, and an evaluation report was drafted;
Employment Planning Day – The Disability Service hosted an Employment Planning
Day for final year students with Disabilities in collaboration with the Careers’ Advisory
Service and GetAhead;
Inclusion in the Careers Service – Worked with the Careers’ Service to complete an in‐depth
evaluation of inclusive practices within the Service. Recommendations for future practice
offered;
Student Transition to Employment Website designed and uploaded to Disability
Service website www.tcd.ie/disability/students/Employment/index.php

(DS) during the past academic year resulting in an increased workload for the Service. This is
summarised in the statistics below:
• 911 students registered with the service
• 11% increase in students registering from 2010 to 2011
• 348 new students registering this year
• 3,946 individual meetings with students
• 592 Fund for student with disabilities (ESF) applications made
• 688 students receiving additional exam accommodations
15

• Average number of monthly unique visitors to the Service website: 16,530
Key Issues and challenges
Disability Service staffing ‐ The two Occupational Therapists in Unilink service are on rolling
contracts which will bring them to the end of four years on College contracts that end in
September 2013. These posts are funded via the Fund for students with disabilities, an
annual ESF fund. This funding source which brings in significant resources annually (€149,150
in 2011‐12) is not secure or long term in nature and has been reducing year‐onyear and a
major review of this fund is on‐going, which will probably result in further reductions in
allocations.
ABC Budget process and unspent balances ‐ College has introduced a new financial system
called ABC (Actual Budget Cycle) and has taken unspent balances from the Disability Service
at the end of the this financial year 11‐12. Whilst recognizing the difficult economic climate
and the need for ABC process some recognition of disability specific strategic requirements
and funding streams are required. The majority of unspent balances (€670,000) set aside is
for physical access works on‐going in College. College has a legal requirement to make all
strategic buildings accessible by December 2015. It was reported at the Estates committee in
2012 that only 38% of College buildings are accessible. Proper use of this funding will show
we are making progress. Long term there is a need to have a funding stream to pay for these
works and executive responsibility to ensure implementation and compliance needs to lie at
Executive Officers level.
Delivery of Disability Service strategic objectives were requested as part of ABC process in
April 2012. The Disability Service core budget is funded via an ‘access weighting’ that results
16
in an amount being ring‐fenced in the core HEA allocation letter we receive annually (sent
previously – HEA core grant letter 2012). In 2012, €1,239,073 was assigned to access/disability
as per the HEA letter. The Disability Service was given 39% of this total allocation: €480,174.
This access fund is ring‐fenced in College for the furthering of access/disability strategies and
ensuring College is compliant particularly in regard to disability legislation (i.e. Disability Act
2005 – stating that all buildings should be accessible by 2015).
The reason the disability office has had significant unspent balances (mostly set aside for
physical access projects: 670k) is that half of all disability posts are presently funded out the
other main fund we have access to i.e. the ESF Student with Disability fund. This will
continue to lead to an under spend and these funds are ring fenced via the source of funding
the HEA stipulate in their core grant letter. The Disability Service in discussions with the
COO. CFO and HR made the strategic decision that if we can cover some DS salaries until the
fund is no longer sustainable then we could use HEA Access allocation as a physical access
‘fighting fund’. We have delivered substantial money to access works because of this
decision and this should not now be placed at risk or become a risk to our legal obligations
concerning compliance.)

Page views on website2‐ Think "session" here. This means a user who has requested to view 3

number of hosts (computer/laptops) that have made at least 1 hit on 1 page of your web site
during that year, a single user requesting to view one page only.
The difference in the figures regarding the web is due to the change in systems & how the
web server ([email protected]) record a hit on the site compared to Google analytics. Google
analytics provide a more accurate reflection on the use of the site which was implemented
in summer 2011 hence the difference. From what I can see the college webserver records a
hit if a user visits the site with no time lapse difference where with Google Analytics it is
recorded above 5‐10 seconds. This also the first year we have been receiving Facebook stats.

4 DS Database & SL Annual Report 5 Percentage of total student population in College
5 A number of specific services specific surveys were carried out in 2011‐12 including
UNILINK service review, first year experience feedback and examination supports.
Completed retention rates are determined after a full cycle of undergraduate students have
completed their studies. This means that data on a cohort of incoming students is not
available until the 5th year. Progression rates are determined on the number of JF incoming
students continuing to their SF year. Students with disabilities have a lower progression rate
than their non‐disabled peers. They are more likely to repeat on medical grounds or go off
books. However, students with disabilities have an overall higher retention rate than their
non‐disabled peers. It appears that the supports they receive make it more likely they will
complete their courses. Approximately 6 to 10% of students registered with the Disability
Service withdraw in any one year. Exact data is difficult to determine until after the 5th year. 7Pathways to Education www.pathwayscork.ie/wp‐content/uploads/2010/09/Studentswith‐Disabilities.pdf
8A battery of six comprehensive and professional psychometric tests is used for each
screening, and administration of these tests can take 3 hours to administer, one hour is
required to score results using the statistical manuals, interpret such scores, and produce an
in‐depth written report which includes: rationale for testing, test description, background
information, test behaviour and performance, results and conclusion. Subsequently a further
hour is provided to discuss the findings with the student, which includes close reading of the
report text, explanation of results and discussion of recommendations and future options.
The total cost per screening therefore is in the region of €186 per student.
Unilink Service aims to ensure all hours during term are maximized to meet students and their
needs, the aim is to have 955 of available time during term to be given to student
23
appointments. Term time in the Disability Service refers to Mid‐August (admissions of new
entrants) until end of the examination/appeal period in any given year.
