Independence
As well as learning key work skills, students also learn independence skills with the aim to become more self-reliant. Independence skills can include:
- Travel training
- Planning, preparing and cooking food
- Cleaning
- Laundry
- Personal safety (including online)
Locally we have many facilities available. These include shopping, leisure, gym and tourist attractions (Blists Hill, Iron Bridge, RAF Cosford etc.) for students to visit to gain confidence in their independence skills.
Socialising and friendship building is a core aspect of life at Derwen College Telford with activities implemented to facilitate these opportunities.
