Welcome to Daisy Training

Daisy Training have been supporting students in Higher Education since 2011. We provide Non-Medical Helper support for students in receipt of Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) in England, Wales and Scotland. We respond to students and assessors the same day and allocate support workers promptly.

DSA Assessors can contact us to discuss NMH support. Our current NMH rates for all DSA funded support are here: Daisy Training NMH Rates Table v12 1st August 2025

We have current availability for Mentoring (MH, ASC), Study Skills (SpLD’s, ASC), BSL Interpreters, Specialist Support Professionals (HI and MSI), Study Assistants and Electronic Notetakers across England, Wales and Scotland remotely – updated August 2025.

We pride ourselves on our excellent quality service and our ethical and honest approach. We began with close links to  HEI’s in the South West, but we have expanded to support students nationally.

“Daisy Training are always quick to set up any student support. Any changes to support arrangements are also communicated to the student and the college effectively.” HE Student Support, Truro and Penwith College, Cornwall.

Our NMH Support Workers have extensive experience supporting students at HEI’s, many of them have been with us since the start and most have 10+ years of service. We have enormous respect for our support workers, who receive excellent feedback from the students they support, which is reflected in the grades students achieve once supported.

“Having just finished my undergraduate degree and finishing with a 1st I wanted to drop you an email to let you know how amazing and supportive my Mentor has been over the past three years. She has helped me to manage my mental health through really challenging times and I am so grateful to her. I just wanted to let your team know how amazingly supportive she is and what a great resource she has been.” – July 2025

Our support workers tailor their support to individual needs according to the recommendations in the Needs Assessment Report and within the spirit of the DSA. We support students face to face on campus and in their own homes and remotely via Video calling. We provide support from band 1 – 4 and are accredited and registered with DfE.

“I believe that without [SSP], you and the rest of the team Daisy Training’s support. I wouldn’t have been able to complete this degree and pursue further opportunities, despite putting in the effort with the camera, creative work and doing the actual course work. I start the Masters tomorrow, its so exciting!” – September 2024
