Learning support at BPF
What you can expect from us in terms of support and help
Welcome to the Learning Support area, and to your studies with us.
We are working towards being able to assist everyone who needs extra help, whether with assignments, the learning environment, navigating the house, communication in all its forms, as well as with physical and mental health issues, and possible temporary situations that affect your learning.
We apply FREDIE principles to the whole organisation – we have a Silver award from the National Centre for Diversity and are working towards Gold.
- Fairness: Ensuring equitable treatment and opportunities for all individuals.
- Respect: Valuing the dignity and worth of every person.
- Equality: Promoting equal rights and opportunities regardless of background.
- Diversity: Embracing a variety of perspectives and experiences.
- Inclusion: Creating environments where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
When you start studying at BPF you are likely to be asked to let us know if you have additional needs. This will be a short, highly confidential, form on which you can outline anything you are likely to want help with.
You do not have to have a formal diagnosis at all.
