It is the responsibility of each PST to disclose any pre-existing conditions (including physical and
mental health conditions, disabilities, or disorders) that impact, or are likely to impact their capacity to
meet PEP requirements as stipulated in their degree program.
Where adjustments may be required for the PST to meet the mandatory requirements of the program, it
is recommended that they register with Disability Services on their relevant campus as soon as
possible. Disability Services will work with the student in consultation with the PEP / Course Coordinator to determine reasonable adjustments that can be made.
Should the PST develop a condition that is likely to impact her / his capacity to fulfil any of the
Professional Experience requirements, it is the responsibility of the PST to notify the Professional
Experience Office or PEP Coordinator and Course Co-ordinator immediately.
Where adjustments are required, it is the PSTs responsibility to meet with relevant staff, including the
Course Coordinator and PEP Coordinator, with appropriate lead in time prior to commencing
placement. Only in exceptional cases and in relation to conditions that have arisen suddenly, would it
be acceptable for the PST to provide less than one months notice of required adjustments.
Due to the varying nature of each placement, the PST will meet with Disability Services to review the
agreed adjustments as and when required.
When on placement the PST is responsible for maintaining her / his own wellbeing and safety, and that
of the children under her / his care with respect to their role and the placement requirements.
If an issue arises in relation to a PSTs Fitness to Teach, the PST may be required to submit evidence
including medical or other formal documentation to support and/or demonstrate her / his fitness to
complete the requirements of the Professional Experience teaching component of the degree program
in which they are enrolled.
