hi I’m Benny and I manage pathway to

independence at Darby College the

pathway to independence program is based

at the Brimfield campus and would be for

you if you want to work towards living

as independently as possible as an adult

so that might be things like working on

improving your social skills building

your confidence getting out and about

traveling safely being able to shop and

use money as independently as possible

and then being able to plan and cook a

meal for yourself being able to look

after your own home and keep yourself

healthy and safe as well our learning

takes place through lots of practical

activities our students get involved in

things like gardening projects

enterprise projects to raise funds for

charities that they want to support our

students run our in tuckshop they were

in a lunch Club and a cafe to prepare

food for the people lots of

opportunities to build your skills for

independence and skills ready for the

workplace as well so if this sounds like

something that you might be interested

in and you want to know more you’ve got

some questions then please come and join

me in the chat and I look forward to

meeting you pathway to independence is a

personalized program so that means we

will work with you to work out what you

already know and can do and what you

think you need to focus on and learn

next so we’ll think about your long term

goals and aspirations for things that

you want to do after you leave college

and we’ll work with you to plan the

steps along the way to get you there so

we’ll build your program with you and

we’ll also talk to you about what

support you’ll need and how you learn

best in order to help you meet those

targets hello and welcome my name is
