1 Introduction: Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College Our contribution to the Local Offer As part of the changes to provision for people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities set out in the Children s and Families Act 1, Local Authorities must publish, from September 2014, their Local Offer. The Local Offer sets out all provision relating to education, health and care that young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, their parents and carers can access in order to meet the needs stated in their Education, Health and Care Plan 2. This statement sets out Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College contribution to the Local Offer in west London. College Vision: Our vision is to be a strong independent college characterised by clarity of purpose, to be outstanding in everything we do and become renowned for the creative and innovative way through which we deliver learning. College Values: Our values arise out of our vision: We put learners at the heart of everything we do 1 The Children and Families Bill received Royal Assent in March From September 2014 Education, Health and Care Plans will replace Statement of Needs, Learning Difficulty Assessments and 139As. 1
2 We provide a safe and inspiring environment in which to work and study We believe diversity is an asset to learning We value and celebrate the pleasure of learning and support students and staff in meeting their potential We treat students and staff as individuals, listening, respecting and responding to their needs We value our students beyond their time at the College and will, wherever possible, continue to support them for as long as they need us We value the importance of meeting the needs of employers, partners and our local community through responsive, innovative and high quality services These values underpin and inform all our strategies, plans, behaviours and actions. Our commitments and principles aim to ensure all our services, course/programmes and working practices are accessible, flexible and available without discrimination, harassment or victimisation. We endeavour to share our successes with others by celebrating learner achievement and our diversity. Our approach to being inclusive: Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College welcomes students from all walks of life, with lots of different needs and goals but with one thing in common. Each has the desire to learn in an exciting, stimulating way and develop skills that will help them succeed. We are proud of our approach to Inclusive Learning. Learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities access all of our curriculum areas from sports to hairdressing and everything in between. The College prospectus is published yearly on the College website. We also have a curriculum devised specifically for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities who, for whatever reason, cannot access mainstream provision. These learners enrol into the Inclusive Learning Department. We take our duties under the Equality Act 2010 seriously. Each year we publish, on our website, our annual Equality and Diversity report. The report aims to provide sufficient equality information to allow readers to judge for themselves our performance on equal opportunities and make an assessment on whether we are meeting our duties as part of the Equality Act 2010 in regards to all protected characteristics. 2
3 By reporting regularly, we identify any patterns occurring in regard to equality and set actions in response, advancing our equality work, eliminating any discrimination (or potential) and fostering good relations. The areas reviewed include a review of our student demographics, student progression and success and retention rates. We also closely monitor complaints and through surveys and learner forums gather students views. Click here to read the full report. We have in place polices and processes underpinning our approach to equality and diversity. These include, but are not limited to: An Equality and Diversity Policy A Single Equality Scheme and Equality Objectives/Actions Disability Guidance Anti-Bullying & Harassment Policy (students and staff) A Recruitment Policy A Whistleblowing Policy A Learner First Strategy A Safeguarding Policy A Health and Safety Policy Staff Training Disability confidence is a key requirement for staff in every organisation. Being disability confident means staff are not only aware of disability issues, but are also able to take practical steps to improve the environment for disabled people. The College has in place mandatory equality training (online), which aims to ensure staff can access resources/information about disability. In addition, the Professional Development Team run practical disability training sessions to increase staff knowledge of disability. What support is available?: Learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities are encouraged to disclose their disability at the time of enrolment. This allows us to put timely, appropriate support in place to ensure learners are successful in their learning. A disclosure can be made at any time during studies. Within the mainstream this process is managed by a Lead Disability Coordinator who, in turn, is supported by a Disability Coordinator who support learners in each of our 4 campuses. Support is tailored to suit individual learners. Some examples of this are: 3
4 Qualified British Sign Language Interpreters to support Deaf learners One-to-one support in class Enabling technology both hardware and software Additional time for exams e.g. for dyslexic learners Note takers Enlarged hand-outs Height adjustable tables Within our Inclusive Learning Department our learners work in small groups of no more than 10 supported by a teacher and a learning support assistant. In some cases learners will have their own one-to-one support either to support with learning or personal care needs. We are currently developing the role of the Job Coach within the Inclusive Learning Department. Inclusive Learning Department: Learners accessing our Inclusive Learning Department can study with us for up to a maximum of 4 years, depending on the availability of a suitable progression pathway. Learners accessing our Gatehouse 3 can access our provision for a maximum of two years before progressing onto the mainstream or employment. Dates for Taster Days are published in early October each year. These taster days allow us to meet prospective learners and their parents/carers for the first time and carry out a very early initial assessment as to whether we can meet a learner s needs. We ask learners to bring with them any supporting documentation such as statements, one page profiles, communication books and Learning Disability Statements. These allow us to build a bigger picture of the young person. We also welcome visit from parents at any point of the year. Parents/carers can ring and book at appointment with the Head of Department or the Programme Manager on any of the three sites in Acton, Hammersmith or Southall. We offer a range of Link Courses to local special schools. Link Courses are normally aimed at young people in their last or penultimate year of school education. Their core aim is to support learners make a slow and effective transition from the world of compulsory education to the adult world of postcompulsory education. When a learner starts with us in early September the first two weeks focus on induction into college life. This also offers the teachers and support staff the opportunity to assess learners current levels of skill and from that point to 3 Provision for young people with a diagnosis of high functioning autism 4
5 develop an Individual Learning Plan to support learners to meet their goals and aspirations. This learning plan is a working document and is continually updated to reflect learner progress. It supports the conversations held with parents and learners during person centred review meetings For those learners directly enrolling onto mainstream courses there are two main departments who are able to offer support: Additional Learning Support (ALS): for learners with literacy, language or numeracy support needs which will include dyslexia and dyspraxia. The College has specialist dyslexia teachers available to provide 1:1 support. Disability Support: for learners who disclose a disability such as physical, sensory, learning difficulty or mental health difficulties. For deaf learners we are able to provide specialist support from City Lit. There are a number of opportunities throughout the academic year to visit each campus and discuss course options with curriculum staff and also the support available. At application, learners are asked to disclose a disability. This will ensure relevant staff are made aware of each learner and can make contact with them to discuss support when they enrol. At enrolment, in August, learners will be able to meet the Disability Support and Additional Learning Support teams and discuss the support available at the College. We ask that learners bring with any medical evidence or previous assessments that have been completed so we are clear on how we can best support each learner. If 1:1 support is required, we need a copy of an S139a (or LDA) before support can be confirmed. During enrolment all learners will be asked to complete a diagnostic assessment. Support is available to complete these assessments if required. Support can be organised in a range of ways. It could be to make specialist arrangements in exams or for assessed work and assignments, specialist equipment and resources to help individual learners, adapted materials, guided tours of the campus or specialist staffing such as communication support workers, note takers and specialist tuition. We can also refer you to other support services such as student support or counselling support. The majority of 1:1 or group support is provided by Learning Support Assistants (LSA) who are recruited from Capita and Morgan Hunt. All LSAs are interviewed and go through DBS checks. The Disability Coordinator matches learners to the LSA s skill set to ensure the best support is provided. Throughout the academic year, the Disability Coordinator or ALS staff will review each learner receiving 1:1 or group support to make sure it remains appropriate. 5
6 Working in partnership: We have a large range of partnerships in place with local organisations to support and underpin the work we do in college and within the wider community. For example, once a year, normally in early November, we host a half-day event for staff in Local Authorities who are focused on working with disabled learners transitioning into college. We encourage current and past learners to present at the event, talking about their experiences of college life. We work closely with colleagues in each of the 12 Local Authorities we deal with, including accessing support services from Adult Social Care and Health, local Safeguarding Boards, Adult Learning Disability Services. The Department is actively involved in local parents groups, support and transition networks and with a range of local community partnership groups. The Curriculum Offer: Our Inclusive Learning Department offers a curriculum on 3 of our 4 campuses aimed specifically at learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. We welcome a broad range of ability levels from learners with profound and complex learning difficulties to learners with high functioning autism. We aim to ensure that the young people who study with us transition to positive destinations and are prepared for adulthood. We work hard to ensure our curriculum focuses on improved employability/employment, community inclusion, better health and greater independence. In 2014, the Department undertook a curriculum review to ensure our offer was fit for the future in terms of the funding, policy and legislative changes that have recently happened or are anticipated to happen in the near future. Our curriculum offer for our Inclusive Learning Department commencing in September 2014 focuses largely on vocational pathways. From September 2014 we will also be working in partnership with Ealing Borough, Ealing Mencap and the Hilton T5 at Heathrow to deliver Project Search. This is a partnership venture, which prepares young disabled people for competitive employment. Specific information on the curriculum offer can be accessed by getting in touch with the Head of Inclusive Learning or the programme managers for Inclusive Learning at the Hammersmith, Southall or Acton campuses. 6
7 Working with parents: Throughout the academic year we offer parents and carers the chance to attend learner review meetings. Each learner who enrols in the Department is assigned a personal tutor and will normally have weekly tutorial sessions. Review meetings are managed by personal tutors. Each campus hosts one information evening aimed at parents in the academic year. Securing equipment, provision and services, including accessible facilities: The College acts on its duty under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure reasonable adjustments are in place to support disabled learners accessing our services. This includes our duty to be anticipatory in our efforts. Each of our campuses has a large accessible personal care room with a height adjustable bed and hoist. The College has no internal employed therapy staff e.g. speech and language therapists. When a learner s 139A states they need access to such services we work with the Local Authority to secure these. The cost of such therapies is charged, with their agreement, to the Local Authority or they will assign a specialist from the Adult Learning Disability Service to support the learner. The College offers a range of services to our learners, including disabled learners. We have: Counselling and Advice services Mentors, including Looked After Children Mentors A nursery in our Hammersmith Campus A Learner Information Service Student Funds College Sport Safeguarding Learner Information Services Careers Advice Additional Learning Support Learner Engagement 7
8 Learning Centres Further information is available on our website. Learning Centres Each one of our campuses has a fully equipped Learning Centre. They provide a number of resources to cater for disabled learners, which include: Specialist computers large keyboards, specialist mice etc Tables which can be adjusted for wheelchair access Our counters at Ealing, Acton & Southall are accessible for wheelchair users A CCTV magnifier in Hammersmith Coloured transparencies for dyslexic learners In addition: We have a range of resources, catering for all reading levels, and will be further developing our resources for functional skills literacy, providing high interest materials. We have a small section in Hammersmith and Acton for this. We are developing resources for visually impaired learners, providing large print books and audiobooks. We currently have a good section at Southall Learning Centre. Our shelving is high, due to lack of floor space, but LC staff are on hand to find items for learners The College had carried out an internal access audit of its premises as a means of identifying improvements from which an access plan has been developed. A review of the access audit is also being implemented to include our facilities and services. Assuring the quality of our provision: The College assures the quality of its provision through the annual quality assurance cycle, which culminates in the College publishing its yearly Self Assessment Report. Under the current Common Inspection Framework we have graded ourselves, overall, as a good college (Grade 2). Teachers are observed teaching every year and where it has been identified support is needed to improve that support is put in place. The College has a Professional Development Team responsible for the Continuing Professional Development of its entire staff, which includes Disability Awareness Training. 8
9 Transport arrangements Many of our learners are independent travellers but for some it is necessary to ensure they get to college safely. For these learners we work with their Local Authority to request transport. Once that transport is in place it is the responsibility of the parent/carer to liaise with their transport contact for any changes to timetables etc. Travel training is an essential component of the curriculum for some of our learners. Making a complaint: The College values the feedback our learners provide as a contribution to our Learner First Commitment. We are also keen to receive feedback from our stakeholders, visitors and neighbours to add value to our service. Of course we like to hear from learners when we have met or exceeded expectations and will respond to compliments or suggestions we receive. Equally we recognise that sometimes things don t go as planned and there may be reason to express concern or to raise a complaint. We aim to deal with concerns and complaints quickly to do as much as we can to improve and provide an excellent service. Our compliments and complaints system is part of our customer service process. We will use the compliments received to congratulate our staff on doing a good job, share the best practice and complaints and suggestions to identify and learn how we can do even better. We aim to: Put our students, our partners, employers, visitors and other members of the public at the centre of our service by understanding their needs and, should things go wrong, have a system in place that will help us to put them right and learn from the problem. Ensure that everyone experiences a warm and efficient environment and a high level of service. Resolve complaints before they cause serious problems. Encourage students, partners and visitors and other members of the public to let us know when things go wrong by making the process accessible and to use this information to plan for improvement. Encourage students, partners, visitors and stakeholders to let us know when we provide an excellent service. This procedure has been developed to ensure that complaints, compliments and suggestions are listened to and dealt with in a timely way, appropriately and sensitively. It seeks to ensure there is no repetition of the issue for the 9
10 complainant in the future and that best practice is identified and shared across the organisation. This procedure covers all aspects of gathering and monitoring complaints, compliments and suggestions and applies to all services offered by the College including off-site services. There are 3 strands: (i) Formal and informal complaints made by students. (ii) Formal and informal complaints made by partners, employers, visitors or other members of the public. (iii) Compliments and suggestions made by students, partners, visitors and other members of the public. Compliments, complaints and suggestions forms will be placed at reception, outside Student Services offices, within the Learning Resources centres and within Learner Information Services at all sites. The forms will be also available online at Complaints, compliments and suggestions may also be submitted via , telephone or the College website via contact us. Posters will be displayed at off-site premises (where possible) advising students on how to make a complaint and how to ensure it reaches the appropriate members of staff. Safeguarding The College s commitment to the care, safety and development of its students is at the core of our vision, values and Learner First and safeguarding strategies. Our values provide a framework for taking any necessary action and monitoring our own behaviours and approaches. The Student Code of Conduct and Student Contract, signed by all learners at the beginning of their course, sets out the standards of student behaviour. These standards are reinforced through the RESPECT theme, student forums and student union meetings. This procedure is designed to ensure that all students achieve and maintain the highest standards of conduct, attendance and academic achievement. It emphasizes that the first duty of all students is to behave in a manner that is consistent with being a member of Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College. Further information is set out in our Safeguarding Policy and our Student Disciplinary Policy. 10
