2009 Disability Statement

LSP welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender or disability. This information is for any student whose personal or academic life may be affected in some way by a medical condition, disability, impairment, or specific learning difficulty. It is our policy to recognise that everyone is an individual, and we will work with you to identify potential barriers to your study of puppetry and will do what we can to remove them. We will make any reasonable adjustment to ensure that disabled students can train with LSP. LSP Admissions process is committed to supporting students with disabilities

Applicants are advised to notify LSP if they have a disability, prior to audition/interview. This will allow LSP to provide suitable facilities for audition/interview. If applicants decide not to disclose a disability, this will limit LSP's ability to meet their needs throughout the admissions process. However, applicants should be reassured that any information disclosed is irrelevant to the decision of the audition/interview panel.

Having received an offer of an audition/interview, applicants are encouraged to contact the Director of Studies to provide more details. For applicants from non-EU countries or from countries without reciprocal health arrangements with the UK, it is vitally important, if there are medical care needs, to establish prior to arrival, what might be available on the National Health Service (NHS). Such students are encouraged to organise private personal health care plans or insurance policies, to ensure they are able to cover any eventuality.
