We ask that schools provide all relevant information such as behavioural issues, reduced timetable details, required

support due to a disability or medical condition and current educational attainment to the school partnerships team prior to, or at the point of, the student’s interview. This includes providing a copy of their most recent education, health and care plan (EHCP) for those students that have one.

Our dedicated and specialist teams will then support students by assessing their learning and educational needs and agreeing a support plan. This may include adjustments to teaching, one-to-one support, workshops, smaller class sizes and assistive technology. We also offer special arrangements for exams and assessments.

The school must pay agreed costs for additional learning support to be provided by College, or provide support for all students attending College who receive support in school or are identified as needing support.

We formally assess the impact all new and updated policies may have on any of the protected characteristics and look for all opportunities to advance and foster equality and diversity.

We embed the whole concept of Equality and Diversity deeply within our culture and within our activities, procedures for all staff and students and external working relationships and business, including procurement.

We invite, encourage and welcome all suggestions, queries and contributions to improve our services and advance our equality and diversity work within College and our wider group and the contributions we can make to the wider community.
