Deaf Student Support
We offer a range of support for deaf learners. Learning Advisers will support learning in a variety of settings and help learners to develop their confidence and skills.

Advisers work closely with tutors to make sure learners have every opportunity to succeed.

Support could include:

BSL communication
Note-taking
Language support
Text phones
Loop systems
Guidance to course tutors and staff development about including learners who are deaf or hard of hearing.

When you apply to college please let us know about your specific needs. An individual assessment will be made so we can plan and prepare for the support you will need when you start your college course.

You can tell us about your needs confidentially by:

Talking to an Adviser within Student Services
Telling us about any support needs on your application form
Discussing your needs with tutors at interview
Coming in to college for an assessment with one of our Advisers
