Explain the skills and personal attributes (qualities) necessary for a range of people (including professionals) who care and support individuals with different needs – you may wish to reflect back on Activity 1.

‘Explain’ means to give an account of the purposes or reasons: ‘What, how, why…this is important because’.

Note: Identify the sources of information you have used i.e, books, journals, reliable and relevant internet sites.

There are lots of people at the college, each studying a diverse range of courses, people from all different areas come to study here, it creates a sense of community, there is a huge social aspect to college life across all courses.

My courses were all especially interesting, I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. All of my lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and I have learnt a lot from them.

Lottie Warren, A Level student

I would say it’s a college that really balances academia with fun, there is lots of extra-curricular stuff that you can get involved in. It has a really good work/life balance.
