Broadbent & Co was set up in 1996 by Steven and Elizabeth Broadbent. Steve was the Chair of the National Network for Access Centres until 2013 and so very much involved in DSA developments at a national level. Their ethos was simple, the belief that "everyone must be seen and treated as an individual with their own individual needs. These needs must be identified in order for them to realise their own potential in education, employment and for life". In May 2018, Steve very sadly passed away. His son, Andrew, continues to follow in his footsteps and is the CEO of Broadbent Assist Ltd, Director alongside Elizabeth Broadbent, and he is also an active Needs Assessor.

The assessor was friendly, knowledgeable & supportive. He put my yp at ease immediately. My yp had opted for a Zoom consultation & this worked extremely well. I would urge anyone thinking about applying for support to do so. If you have Broadbent & Co as your assessors you will be met with friendliness & understanding.

My assessment was really thorough. Helen was understanding and knowledgeable, which made it easy to communicate my specific needs. Replies were fast.

Extremely helpful and very understanding. In my talk about my needs, I found my handler to be understanding, kind and very helpful. While initially scared of what might come out of the conversation, I was beyond happy with the results and the talk itself.

I was referred, by my university, to Broadbent and Co for a disability assessment. They were excellent from the initial contact all the way through to the actual assessment. My assessor Helen was kind, patient and knowledgeable assisting me through the process and paperwork needed. The DSA application can be daunting but it was an encouragement to have someone who knew the process so well. I would highly recommend this company.

The organisation was very quick to get in touch and made every effort to be flexible with my availability. I then. I then had the pleasure of speaking to Ben, who made the assessment so comfortable and made me feel at ease. He was empathetic and understanding and did not make me feel judged or that he was just, 'doing his job,' but rather his aim was to genuinely help me. He was very informative and helpful and I would recommend Broadbent & Co to anyone who needs a DSA assessment.

Very friendly, listened to everything that was communicated and clarified anything they were not sure off.
Done an amazing job.

Having the same assessor for my MSc DSA Assessment made the whole process much easier. We were able to go over what I had previously, see what has changed and made new recommendations as well as continue some old ones. It was an efficient process, very well followed and I was able to get across everything I needed to even with a speech disorder.

The assessment was conducted in both a professional and patient way. The front of House staff are friendly and follow up swiftly on queries

Such a friendly and informative assessment. I was originally quite nervous to attend, but my assessor, Ben, put me at ease straight away. I feel like I have been properly listened to, far more than during my entire experience at University, and am looking forward to seeing the results of this assessment pay off during my studies.

I could sense and see Ben's professionalism during our talk. His warm social demeanour impressed me, as I felt like I was conversing with a dear friend at times. I can guarantee you that talking with Ben and having his company for about an hour was a delightful time. It was a pleasure to get to know him!!

It was very clear and efficient communication over the phone. i was trying explain all the difficulties I was facing in the university and she was suggesting the things that can help me through out.
She was listening to me and giving me time to persuade my experiences. I am very much satisfied with the assessment and the whole process.

Bev was very clear with her job role and the point of the assessment. She was knowledgeable in products that may be to my advantage. Our appointment was on time and lasted the suggested time. It was all very straight forward and smooth.

My assessor Helen was lovely who made me feel very calm and even allowed me time to rest during the call as my conditon meant I can't look at screens for extended periods of time

The whole process was extremely well run and conducted. Booking was easy and the appointment slots were within a close timeframe. My assessor, Charlotte was excellent. She was patient and kind, made me feel at ease with the process and was very helpful and knowledgeable about the assistance and support I could receive. Her customer service was second to none! I recommend booking with Broadbent as it was an overwhelmingly positive experience.
