Details

Our final session of this academic year focusses on Supporting Neurodivergent Students within Student Accommodation.

In this forum, we will be discussing different ways in which we can support neurodivergent tenants – from the lighting in rooms, to the need for a PEEP, to explaining the contracts. We are interested to know what other organisations do, while Unipol offers suggestions from our own experiences.

This session will be an opportunity for discussion, idea-sharing and networking with other providers.
