Where a learner shows signs of requiring learning support, I will refer to appropriate agencies within the sector to obtain additional support to meet the needs of the individual. My role involves ensuring my learners are aware of and understand current legislation relating to the subject and where practical evidence is required that my learners have been involved in or have knowledge and understanding of how legislation governs their individual practices.
