Sign language support
Taking REAL care of you...
...by ensuring our deaf and hearing Impaired students are given equal access to college life and the curriculum to achieve their full potential
What help is available?
Our dedicated communication support workers assist our deaf and hearing impaired students in all aspects of college life by:
- Providing sign language translation in either British Sign Language (BSL) or (Signed Supported English (SSE) for students in lessons
- Taking notes for students
- Offering extra support for students outside of lessons (for example help with assignments, modifying course materials)
- Sign language support during enrichment activities
Our communication support workers are qualified in BSL at Level 2, 3 and above.
What help will I need?
You will have the chance to meet with a Hearing Impairment Practitioner when you apply for a course to discuss the level of support you will need.
Once you have started, our practitioner will continually monitor your needs and make any changes if necessary.
