Making progress visible

Before you begin
A few things you may want to know.
What is agreed before support begins?
We discuss suitability, learning priorities, the delivery setting, timetable, fees, relevant access and support needs, and the responsibilities of the adults involved. Any qualification entry or external activity is confirmed separately.
How is the transition plan reviewed?
Review points are agreed with the learner and relevant adults. The plan can be adjusted when needs change, with responsibilities and next actions kept clear.
Can we request policies first?
Yes. All policies are available on request through our policy request form.
