Access
Tell us what would stop you taking a place.
Cost, travel, distance, accommodation, equipment, disability, caring responsibilities. Each is discussed case by case with the person arranging the days, before you commit to anything. Some barriers are solved, sometimes with a third-party funder; some are reduced; some cannot be solved for a particular course, and you are told which before you accept a place. Nothing here is an entitlement.
Barriers
What to tell us.
Cost
What attending would cost you: fares, time off, days you would not be earning
Travel and distance
Where you would be travelling from, and whether Pinewood, London or Liverpool is a day trip
Accommodation
Whether a run of days would mean a night away
Equipment
Days on the floor need personal protective equipment and outdoor kit: boots, wets, gloves, a torch. Say whether you have them
Disability and neurodivergence
What helps and what does not, in your own words. No diagnosis, no evidence, no medical letter
Caring responsibilities
Fixed times you cannot move, and days you cannot be away
How it is handled
Case by case.
Your answer goes to the person arranging the days, not to the person deciding who gets a place. What can be done depends on the course, the site and sometimes a third-party funder, and it is worked out with you before you accept a place.
What a day involves
A straight description, before you accept.
Some of the work is physical, and some of it happens outdoors, in weather, at unsociable hours. Interpreters, speech-to-text, materials in advance, a quiet room or a support worker on site are discussed the same way, and all of them need lead time, so tell us early.
Next
Say so on the form.
The form asks what would stop you taking a place. Answer in your own words, ask for a call first if that is easier, and tell us later if something changes.
