Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI)

32 UCAS Tariff Points in a relevant area(s) of study (eg. Level 3 Diploma in Childcare).

Applicants will be practitioners already working with children and young people, within a relevant sector with at least 2 years experience prior to starting the course. This might be in a full time or voluntary capacity.

Those students who are proposing to advance to Teacher Training (upon completion of Level 6) will be advised of the requirement to gain Level 4/C in English, Mathematics and Science, though this is not an entry requirement to the programme.

In line with the widening participation and lifelong learning strategy, we also welcome applications from people of any age who might not meet the standard entry criteria, but we would expect to see evidence of continuing academic and/or professional development and a capacity to pursue the course successfully. We are committed to creating educational opportunities for people from a variety of backgrounds and situations. If you have been out of formal education for some time, and/or you do not have the qualifications stated, we might still be able to consider your application and offer you a range of support. We are here to help. Please get in touch to find out more.

All students will be required to hold an enhanced DBS.* Any applicant with criminal convictions will be considered by the DNCG Safeguarding team to establish their suitability to engage in the programme. Early disclosure is therefore highly recommended and encouraged through the rigorous application process.
