The college talks to potential new students about their needs, what sort of support they have had in the past and what they might need at the college. Information is also gathered from their school’s special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO), careers service and other relevant professionals. This information is shared with course tutors to make sure the right support is in place before the student starts. The college also works with parents/careers to ensure there are effective transition arrangements in place.
