The main role of the Inclusive Learning Service is to assess additional support needs for students with disabilities, learning difficulties and long term medical conditions. The centre provides pre entry, on-course and exit advice for students who have additional support needs, how this support may be funded and how to apply for such support. The service provides a training resource for curriculum staff on disability issues and has a dedicated area on the College Staff Intranet. In addition, the College is SENDO compliant and CIL-D ensures that students at the Met receive support which reflects current legislative requirements and the College’s policy regarding disability and inclusion.

Further support is also considered including Specialist Dyslexia Support, mentoring as well as practical measures such as the use of a lap top computer, a livescribe pen or enabling technology software.

Currently, the centre supports over 600 College students with a range of curriculum support resources.
