Learner Voice
At Learning for Life, we understand that disability is a right not a fight. That’s why we have implemented the Learner Voice Strategy throughout all aspects of the curriculum and learning journey. Our strategy encourages the holistic and inclusive participation of learners to improve their personal achievement and outcomes.
Learner participation is about developing a culture where our learners have the opportunity to play an active role in the decision making, planning and reviewing any actions that might affect their learning and well-being. The strategy ensures that everyone has a voice and a choice throughout their learning journey.
We have elected our very own Learner Council at Learning for Life as we recognise that this is an essential part in bridging communication gaps and overcoming social boundaries. A Learner Ambassador has been selected and they have an active role in ensuring that their fellow learners, whether verbal or non-verbal, have their voice heard.
All Council members wear a badge so that all learners can identify their representatives. This enables the learners to have increased opportunities to develop their personal and social skills and to have those skills recognised.
A link between the Learner Council and the staff communication team has been created to not only ensure that communication is streamlined throughout the College, but also to enable the Learner Voice Strategy to extend beyond the boundaries of the College and into the wider community.
