Additional Learning Support
Colchester Institute is committed to inclusive learning and widening participation; the college also take its responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) very seriously. This means that all applicants and learners who have disabilities or learning difficulties are entitled to receive support to enable them to participate as fully as possible in college life and to enable them to complete their programme of study successfully.
Additional Learning Support (ALS) will include any activity that provides direct support for learning to individual learners, over and above that which is provided in a standard learning programme and which leads to their Primary Learning Goal. The need may arise from a learning difficulty or disability or from literacy, numeracy or language support requirements.
