SEND teams showcase what CCCG can offer at Islington Council’s My Way Day 

Capital City College Group (CCCG)’s SEND teams presented the college group’s range of offerings for students with learning disabilities as part of Islington Council’s My Way Day at the Emirates Stadium.

My Way Day is a free event aimed at people aged 14 and over with learning disabilities and their carers or families as well as professionals working with people with learning disabilities or autism. The event offers access to valuable information about advocacy and support, education, employment as well as health and wellbeing and was run by Islington Council in collaboration with Community Catalysts and Arsenal Community.

The event, which took place on 18 June, offered an opportunity for 7 staff members from SEND teams from across the college group to speak directly to students, carers and educators. They were able to share information on the range of courses on offer and showcase the SEND support available to prospective students.

During My Way Day, the CCCG SEND team took the opportunity to network with other SEND organisations and education providers. The event welcomed local colleges, support groups, mental health and wellbeing organisations as well as arts organisations such as the Angel Shed Theatre Company which is based at City and Islington College (CANDI). The event also included an itinerary of activities and performances such as a mindfulness session, music and dance performances and an interactive music session.

The CCCG SEND team were able to present their positive and vibrant approach to supporting learners and received great feedback from the organisers. They also enjoyed seeing so many organisations showcasing what they can offer to local residents. 

Kam Kalirai, Head of Foundation Learning at CANDI, said: “We are privileged that we were asked to attend the event and represent CCCG. We had a lot of positive comments from parents, young people and some of the exhibitors. The commissioning officer from Islington Council stated he was impressed by the positive approach by CCCG and was pleased that we were well represented.”

CCCG offers a range of Foundation and Supported Learning Courses, from Creative Arts – Entry Level courses to Supported Internships.
