Student Support
A wide range of support services enable curriculum access: 
Medical support:
The Medical Centre is staffed by trained nurses for medication, dressings and treatments and the College doctor holds a daily surgery. Specialist equipment is available in the Medical Centre and main residences and the chiropodist attends regularly.

Physiotherapy programmes support students to access the curriculum by enhancing their mobility and independence. A range of group sessions is available, including hydrotherapy, and individual treatments include exercise and stretching programmes, electrotherapy and acupuncture.
Speech and Language Therapy:
The assessment term includes assessment of communication needs. For those students with specific speech and language difficulties direct and indirect therapy is available either individually or in a group. The college is a Makaton Centre of Excellence.
Personal counselling:
Every student is allocated a named personal counsellor prior to arrival and has immediate access to their personal counsellor throughout the three year course.
Behaviour management and psychological support:
The psychological support team works with students to develop coping strategies for behavioural difficulties.
Personal Tutorials:
All students receive guidance and support through the personal tutorial system. The personal tutors are responsible for setting up and monitoring the individual learning programmes.
Dyslexia:
Students with specific learning difficulties are identified and assessed to develop an individual support programme, based on the degree and nature of the difficulties.
