It’s been three weeks since I last updated you on the progress the College is making on the range of challenges we are currently facing.
I would again wish to thank all of you for your continued engagement with your studies. Whilst staff are continuing to both teach and provide tutorial and pastoral support online, the response from you has been excellent and clearly will help prepare you for your next step, whatever that may be.

Only two weeks ago we moved across to a blended method of teaching and learning using a combination of digital tutorials with a variety of assessments, as well as providing additional pastoral support.

People are being encouraged to engage in the online campaign to talk about their experiences and concepts of stereotypes using #thisisme.
