Your daughter will need to speak to her university about withdrawing and student finance (if that is who is being paying her tuition fees)

Hi there,

I'm sorry your daughter wishes to withdraw from her course - I'm hoping things are okay for her and that she's able to find a way to work with her recent diagnoses :frown:

I would recommend speaking to the course leader to begin with, to relay your issues and to see if there's a way to make things work out for your daughter - they may be willing to make accommodations so that your daughter can complete her course (providing she wants to do so, of course!)

I would also suggest contacting the Wellbeing & Support team at the university to see if they can help you direct matters to the relevant teams and also act on your daughter's behalf, whether this involves contacting the Department leader for your daughter's course or the team responsible for gap years/withdrawals.

I hope things work out for her, best of luck with it all!💚

Best wishes,

Hi, I'm really upset to hear your daughter is going through this. Please contact university support services to investigate this even further, she may be entitled to reasonable adjustments to help with her wellbeing. Moreover bringing to light in what areas her treatment is unfair.
