Support for People with Disabilities

We welcome disabled students on our training courses and make every effort both to anticipate and to make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of disabled participants where necessary.

If you have any particular requirements that need to be catered for to enable you to attend a course please let us know as far in advance as possible by completing the ‘Special requirements’ section of the booking form or contacting us.

We take our responsibilities in relation to equality and diversity seriously. Therefore, if you have any comments or queries on the accessibility of our provision and the inclusivity of our materials, please contact us.
