Your LEARNER ENTITLEMENT is the work of the five Local Authorities, Connexions and the Learning and Skills Council in the Tees Valley. What this means is a commitment from everyone involved in your learning to:
- Help you enjoy your learning and to achieve as well as you can;
- Assist you in becoming an adult able to earn your living, stand on your own feet and pay your way;
- Help you to get involved in things going on around you; to be an active member of the place where you are learning and the community where you live;
- Support you in keeping fit and well, in body and mind, so that you can make the best of your learning opportunity and enjoy life;
- Help you to be safe and secure, to be able to take care of yourself and the people you live and learn with.
