DBS Check
Student Services will send further details. For both levels, you must have a Disclosure and Baring Service certificate (DBS) and you will complete this with the College and the College will send this off on your behalf. You will be given a list of identification documents you will need to bring to complete this form. Student Services will send further details.
TRIPS
Over the year there will be visits from professionals working in the sector who will come and deliver a session to inform you of their role. Some examples are a Learning disability Nurse, Makaton & Special educational needs tutor and a complimentary therapist.
There will also be the opportunity to visit some university open days to help you consider your next steps after College.
The department will also be running a trip to the Thackery Medical Museum and we have had end of year trips to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Lightwater Valley.
Paying for food and drinks on campus – Upay – our new payment system
From September 2024, you will be able to pay for your school meals with your College ID badge, simply swipe your badge at the tills!
Students with free school meal eligibility will automatically have their ‘free school meal’ balance topped up to their College ID badge, making it easier and quicker to pay for your meals on campus.
Students who do not qualify for free school meals will also be able to pay for meals this way, simply download the Upay app and add credit to your account. Further details will be given when you enrol.
