Being a participant is exciting, but it can also be challenging. All staff and trainers can be approached for advice on academic and personal issues. Staff at WBS will offer professional and confidential advice in areas where they can help and will ensure that all efforts are taken to ensure a positive learning experience is achieved. Support services can include provision of extra training sessions, support classes, or providing hard copy learning resources to support online LMS.
The National Administration and Operations Manager is able to provide links to external sources of support where the staff at WBS are not qualified or it is in the participant’s best interests to seek professional advice.
