The Review of Provision for Students with Disabilities was initiated by the Funding for Learners (FFL) division of the Scottish Executive in spring 2005 in order to examine the support available to students with disability-related additional needs studying at Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE) level in Scotland. The main aim of the project is to consider options to improve the efficient and effective use of the existing financial resource for individual support for disabled students, within the context of institutional funding to support widening access. The review also considers the feasibility of introducing a single system of support, which would be based on need, rather than level of study.

Care and repair helps people to live independently in the community, complementing community care services. It is a service which supports many national and local objectives in housing, health and social care. Crucially it is highly valued by service users, demonstrated most obviously by their willingness to invest significant mounts of their own money in its services.
