INFORMATION PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND TRAINING COURSES ESOL, ENGLISH AND MATHS FAMILY LEARNING Learning Support We welcome all learners and want to ensure you get the most out of the courses you attend. Improving access We try to make programmes and activities accessible. This could range from making a course available in a room that is more suitable, to providing support for learners who are hard of hearing, visually impaired or need a different computer mouse because of arthritis. Dyslexia support Learners assessed as dyslexic can be supported either one-to-one or sometimes in small groups which are facilitated by a specialist support tutor. Information, advice and guidance Within our initial assessment sessions, we offer free and confidential information, careers advice and guidance. English and maths support English and maths needs are supported on all courses and for vocational and exam courses, learners are required to attend a pre-course assessment see page 7 for dates. Based on this assessment, you may be advised to attend additional classes. All our courses have English and maths embedded. In-class support In all classes learners have an individual learning plan and the tutors will put appropriate strategies in place to ensure that all learners can succeed on their courses dependent on learner attendance and engagement. Additional in class support is provided for learners with learning disabilities and difficulties. Safeguarding We are committed to safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults, and to providing an environment that is safe and secure for all. If you have concerns about the treatment of young people or of vulnerable adults, please contact us urgently: [email protected] Prevent We are committed to respond to the challenge of terrorism and radicalisation and the threat we face from those who promote it. EAL will make every effo rt to support learners who may be at risk of being drawn into terrorism and radicalisation by referral to appropriate services.
