Tutors and Job Coaches endeavour to provide a safe learning environment through the establishment of clear ground rules, which are made explicit to the learners, and reinforced consistently, and this is reflected in our Conduct Policy. This allows students to discuss feelings, and sensitive issues, within a non-threatening and supportive environment. Visiting speakers such as the police and health workers also contribute to the taught curriculum. We adopt a Restorative Practice approach following an incident, to enable the students to think about the impact on themselves, and others, and how to be a responsible member of the community.  

As well as group tutorials, students have the opportunity for 1:1 tutorials with staff to discuss any concerns, reflect on progress made, and set targets for personal and academic achievement.
