2. Pastoral Tutorials These deal with personal issues that may prevent students getting the best out of their course and will:
provide a first line of support and a listening ear in respect of personal problems
celebrate success and achievements
help students through their personal barriers to learning and re-motivate them
liaise with other areas of support, particularly Learning Support and counselling services and refer where appropriate
These tutorials will also be booked by the student by handing a form to reception. All forms will be passed on to Angelique Smith who will liaise with Adam Bushell to arrange appointments at the earliest opportunity. The majority of these tutorials will be delivered by Angelique Smith and Heads of Department who will make referrals as required.
Heads of Department and the teaching team need to be alerted to students who indicate that they have personal issues, including regular lateness or poor attendance and encourage them to book in with Angelique Smith and her team in the first instance. Angelique Smith will also be monitoring attendance and punctuality through the register system and will call students to meet with her when problems arise.
