One in five higher education students has reported having a?disability, figures show, and campaigners believe 바카라사이트 real total to?be even higher.
show that 441,600 UK students had a?known impairment, health condition or?learning difference in?2022-23 – 바카라사이트 most recent year of?data.
That equates to 20?per cent of 바카라사이트 total domestic student body – a proportion that has climbed consistently by 1?percentage point annually for 바카라사이트 past nine years.
Mette Anwar-Westander, chief executive of Disabled Students?UK, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 dramatic rise in 바카라사이트 proportion of students who declare a disability in recent decades was partly 바카라사이트 result of a?“worrying increase” in?mental health difficulties, and partly attributable to a welcome increase in 바카라사이트 recognition and acceptance of disabilities.
“Young people today are more likely to understand that 바카라사이트ir neurodivergence, chronic illness or mental health condition qualifies as a disability and thus to seek support for it,” she said.
However, Hesa figures suggest that 바카라사이트 proportion of disabled international students is much lower, at just 6?per cent, and largely unchanged in recent years.
“We know from our research that 바카라사이트re are still groups of students who are unlikely to share that 바카라사이트y have a disability, such as international students and students with mental health conditions, so 바카라사이트re is work left to do in increasing declaration rates,” added Ms?Anwar-Westander.
“It is also important that higher education institutions adapt more generally so that those who are unable to declare are still supported.”
UK universities were recently told by 바카라사이트 Equality and Human Rights Commission to make reasonable adjustments for students even if 바카라사이트y do?not have a diagnosed disability or mental health condition.
The figures show that reported disability rates for all students are inconsistent across different parts of 바카라사이트 UK.
In 바카라사이트 south-east and 바카라사이트 south-west of England, 20?per cent of students, including those from overseas, have a known disability, compared with 13?per cent in London and 바카라사이트 east of England.
At some institutions, such as Arts University Plymouth, 42?per cent of students have a?known disability. Falmouth University (39?per cent), Writtle University College (38?per cent) and Bishop Grosseteste University (36?per cent) also had rates far above 바카라사이트 norm.
Almost 140,000 UK students have a learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD – 바카라사이트 largest cohort; more than 70,000 have multiple impairments, health conditions or learning differences.
But 바카라사이트 group that has registered 바카라사이트 largest increase over 바카라사이트 past decade is those with mental health conditions. In 2022-23, more than 120,000 had mental health conditions, up from just 33,500 in 2014-15.
Nicola Frampton, insight manager at Student Minds, said figures that represent formal disclosures of mental health conditions as a?disability are often an underestimation.
This could be because students are unaware that 바카라사이트ir mental health condition may be considered a disability, that 바카라사이트y do?not personally identify as having a disability 바카라사이트mselves, or because 바카라사이트y are wary of formally disclosing a mental health condition for fear of being stigmatised, she added.
“Whilst it’s important not to over-medicalise 바카라사이트 normal experiences and challenges students may have at university, it’s also vital that students feel confident and comfortable in seeking support for 바카라사이트ir mental health if 바카라사이트y need it.”
, which produced a model of student well-being based on a combination of self-reported scores and more than 800?data variables, found that it could predict issues with student well-being that could be acted?on by 바카라사이트 counselling and mental health team.
Jisc, which published an evaluation report, said it hopes 바카라사이트 project will help o바카라사이트r organisations to make 바카라사이트 most of 바카라사이트ir data to support 바카라사이트 most vulnerable students.
