Learners With Disabilities

TOCES is committed to ensuring that disabled people, including those with learning difficulties, are treated fairly. All reasonable adjustments to provision will be made to ensure that disabled learners and other disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged.

Learners with learning difficulties, disabilities and special needs are assessed on an individual basis and the likely impact of the disability on the learner’s ability to successfully complete the programme of study is evaluated. This evaluation considers the health and safety of the learner, and those working with the learner, in the range of situations likely to be encountered during the programme.

When assessing admission for learners with physical or sensory disabilities health and safety is considered. Every reasonably practicable step that can be taken to ensure health and safety will be taken to ensure the student can successfully complete the programme. Where health and safety could be compromised in a situation, an alternative teaching or assessment method is used, e.g. simulation, if possible.

Certain physical disabilities may, for health and safety reasons, preclude attainment of learning outcomes within certain elements of a programme. In these circumstances, following an assessment of the learner’s personal plans and career/learning goals, and the extent to which the learning outcomes could or could not be achieved, alternative modules or an alternative programme will be recommended.
