South Essex College is committed to equality of opportunity for all learners and employees of the College and aims to create and maintain an environment where all are treated solely on the basis of their merits, ability and potential.

All centres and areas are easily accessible to wheelchair users and lifts are provided for access above ground level.

The College has robust systems in place for assessing individual’s needs; this includes both hidden and physical disabilities. Support and teaching staff work together to meet the needs of learners with disabilities and difficulties to ensure access to the curriculum, equipment and physical resources.

In partnership with DSA Assessors, we can advise on the availability of a range of equipment to meet learners’ requirements including laptops with voice activated software and a wide variety of adaptive technology. We hold study skills sessions to help students with planning their time, literacy, numeracy and essay writing skills.

Our well qualified and experienced team of advisers facilitate support for students with a variety of disabilities; these include, hearing impairments, dyslexia, mobility issues and visual impairments. The staff engage in ongoing professional developmet to ensure their knowledge and skills are up to date. Additional support may be available to students through the Disabled Students Allowances (DSAs).
