Inclusion
The Inclusion Team are here to support students with anything that might make learning or participating in college life more challenging. This could include a learning difficulty, disability, health condition, or any other additional support need.
If there’s something creating a barrier to learning, a great first step is for students to speak with Inclusion. The team are full of ideas and practical solutions to help make learning more accessible, and appointments are available in person, on Teams or over the phone, whatever suits best. We create a 'Personal Learning and Support Plan' (PLSP) which will provide us with background information, recommendations for support and if any alternative assessment arrangements are required. Appointments are available throughout the year, and these can be requested by contacting inclusion@fife.ac.uk or giving us a call. More info can also be found on Inclusion Team - Home
