How do I get support?

 

If there is any additional support you feel you might need whilst at College, you can refer yourself to the Learning Development Service by completing an Additional Support Requirements (ASR) Form (usually pink).

 You can get these:

  • On all College notice boards across all 3 campuses
  • From any campus reception
  • From your Learner Development Worker
  • From any other member of staff
 
Or you can download the ASR form here
 

Once completed, you can hand it in to an Information Assistant at any Campus Reception, or you can hand it to a member of staff who will pass it on to the right people on your behalf.

If you wish, you can discuss your concerns with your tutor and they will link you to our service.

 

What happens next?

An appointment will be arranged for you to meet with a Learning Development Facilitator (LDF) and you will be sent a letter confirming the details. At the meeting, you will be asked to discuss your concerns and how you feel we could support you with your learning.

 
A Personal Learning Support Plan (PLSP) will be completed and in this you will set goals and the LDF will make recommendations for your support, which with your permission, will be sent to any other people who need to know this information.

  

You will have a review 3 times in the year. This is to see;
 
·        How you are getting on
·        If your support is being put in place and if it’s helping
·        If you have any other concerns about your learning
·        What we could do better
