Gosforth Group’s Creating Futures ethos is rooted in a simple belief: opportunity should be open to everyone. We recognise that success is shaped not only by ambition, but by learning environments where people feel welcomed, supported and able to participate fully.

Our learning environment is fully accessible, with lift access, step‑free entry and parking directly outside the building, enabling independent access for wheelchair users and those with mobility needs.

We are committed to supporting learners from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and circumstances. Where practical, personal or accessibility‑related challenges arise, we encourage open, respectful and confidential conversations so that support can be thoughtfully adapted to individual needs.

Neurodiversity and Individual Learning Needs

Whether you already have a diagnosis, are in the process of seeking one, or simply feel that you learn differently, support is available to help you thrive.

The programme works closely with university specialist services to ensure learners can access appropriate support. This may include additional academic guidance, adjustments to learning approaches, and support with applying for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), where eligible.

The aim is to create an inclusive learning environment that recognises different ways of thinking, learning and working, ensuring you have the tools and support needed to achieve your full potential.

Technology Access

Don’t have access to a laptop? Don’t worry. We will work with you and your employer/charity to ensure you have the appropriate technology to take part fully in your studies. With the right equipment in place, you can log in, engage with your learning, and build confidence from day one. 

Childcare and Caring Responsibilities

Balancing study alongside childcare or caring responsibilities can feel challenging, particularly for those already working in frontline roles. Support is available to help learners explore options and plan study in a way that is realistic and manageable.

Learners may be able to access guidance on:

• Flexible study arrangements that recognise evening and term‑time delivery
• Support available through Student Finance, including childcare‑related support where eligible
• Local or employer‑based childcare arrangements that may align with study commitments
• Planning study time alongside family or caring responsibilities

Where learners have specific circumstances, these can be discussed on an individual basis. Early conversations help ensure expectations are clear and that appropriate support or adjustments can be considered.

The programme is designed to support working adults with real‑world responsibilities, recognising that progression into higher education often takes place alongside family life, not instead of it.
