 The
Student Support Department provides support for students
in all aspects of their lives at the BSO inside and
outside school. We offer an open door policy and are
here to support and advise you with any issues at any
time during your course. We offer a confidential, impartial
service.
Welfare/Disability Advice
The Student Welfare Advisor is available to give advice
and support on issues such as:
- HE Student Finance
- Accommodation
- Childcare Issues
- Other Sources of Funding
- Benefits
- Debt Advice
- Personal Issues
Student Counsellor
Free confidential counselling with a professionally
trained and qualified counsellor.
Learning Support
The Student Learning Advisor is available to support
students with academic skills. The advisor offers workshops
and 1:1 support and the service can be tailored to suit
individual needs. The Student Learning Advisor also
manages the student's PDP’s (Professional Development
Portfolios). The department provides support for dyslexia
where this is needed.
Disabled students
Disabilities can arise at any time during your course,
but if you are aware please let Admissions know at the
onset so that appropriate provisions can be made. Introduction
and Evaluation Days provide opportunities for all prospective
students to see if the course is right for them and
whether they will be able to meet the course requirements.
To discuss your needs further before applying please
ask to speak to the Student Welfare Advisor. If appropriate
the Advisor will also support you through the process
of applying for the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA).
