National Star College has asked us to find out what Mumsnetters who have children with special educational needs look out for when choosing a college.
Here’s what National Star say, “With campuses across the UK, National Star College works with young people with disabilities aged between 16 and 25 years. It offers a range of courses based around each young person’s interests, needs and aspirations while being supported by experienced therapists, medical and care teams.
“National Star has two main aims. The first is to enable the students to achieve their goals and work with them to gain skills for their future lives. National Star also wants to change the way society values people with disabilities so it works with individuals and other organisations to challenge stereotypes, build expertise and raise aspirations. To find out more about National Star College please visit www.natstar.org.uk email [email protected] or call on 01242 534928.”
So what information do you need when choosing a college? Do you know what your rights are? Do you know what colleges are available and what specialist support they can provide? Are you able to choose the college that is right for your son or daughter?
Everyone who comments below will be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 Love2Shop voucher.
