To identify learners with additional learning needs who will be enrolling at college, we work closely with local schools and the Local Education Authority.
The ALN Code says the college must have the young person’s consent to maintain or write an IDP. It is important that this is talked about, so that the young person understands their rights, and has an opportunity to share their views, wishes and feelings.
Our College Transition and Review Officers attend school review meetings for learners with Additional Learning Needs. They do this to understand each learner’s needs and gather the information needed to make sure they are well supported when they start college.
All Learners are encouraged to disclose any ALN or barriers to learning on the college application form.
During open evenings and admissions events, the Additional Learning Needs Team will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.
