Emotional/behavioural/social
Assessment of your needs
Before you start your course you will meet with a specialist support worker to carry out an in depth assessment of your needs. You are actively encouraged through the use of agreed targets to achieve your maximum level of independence.
We give support on an individual or group basis in session, and within the wider college environment for example on trips and visits.
If you have an emotional, behavioural or a social condition that makes learning harder this service helps you to:
- Make arrangements to visit the college or meet up on an open day and get a guided tour of the site.
- Identify what support you need before you start your course
- Work with your tutor
- Stay in College and achieve on your course
- Access other College services and activities
- Learn the skills that you need for working life or Higher Education
- Develop self -advocacy skills
- Support learning and participation in College
- Develop social skills and strategies that will enable you to take control of your learning in a supportive environment
