SLD Core Principles

• We aspire to coach each student in achieving their goals to the best of their ability, regardless of previous attainment.
• We have a developmental and evidence based approach to learning which is informed by best practise.
• We use adaptable study practices, applicable in all disciplines. We recognise each student as an expert in their own field.
• We are not prescriptive. We aim to help students to find individual insights, processes and strategies, to encourage a self-regulated approach to learning.
• We do not proofread.
• We offer a safe, confidential space for students to develop their learning skills. We respect professional boundaries and refer appropriately where necessary.
• We work in partnership with students, student representatives, academic staff and student support services to provide a service that meets the learning development needs of a diverse student body.
• We support students to develop the Trinity graduate attributes, namely independent thinking, effective communication, responsible action and continuous development.
• We are committed to the professional development of our team and the provision of a high-quality service.
