Non medical helper (NMH) supplier list
While it is not a requirement for Welsh students to secure their NMH support from a known supplier, to aid recommendations, Needs Assessors can use this list to view and obtain existing supplier contact details in order to provide NMH quotations.
To update contact details or request information about availability, email dsa_requests@slc.co.uk.
The list is managed and owned by the Department of Education, England (DfE). Any requests for additional roles to be agreed or requests to be added should be directed to disabled.studentallowances@education.gov.uk.
New NMH suppliers, who are not included in this list, who are recommended for Student Finance Wales students, will be considered on a case by case basis in accordance with the Disabled Students’ Allowances guidance.
