Appendix 2 - Hull Training and Adult Education Learner Charter

This Learner Charter links to Hull Training and Adult Education’s Mission Statement and establishes an understanding between you and us for the duration of your training with us:

As a learner you agree to:

Maintain good attendance and have a positive attitude -

• Be punctual and arrive in good time ready for your class to start
• Inform us if you are going to be late or cannot attend for any reason
• Complete all work set on time or inform us of any difficulties, so support can be given
• Arrive to class with a positive attitude and ready to learn
• Ensure you have everything you need, including PPE needed for all practical sessions

Mobile Phones – Professional Use Only:

• Respect learning time - Mobile phones should be switched off or left on silent during lessons
•  Model workplace behaviours - Use of mobile phones in class, unless explicitly permitted by tutor is not acceptable
• Manage Emergency Calls - In instances where you must answer a call, politely excuse yourself from class
• Stay Safe – never use your phone in environments where it poses a safety risk to yourself or others

Follow the rules -

• No food in class is permitted - Drink bottles can be used but must have a lid.
• Use dedicated smoking and vaping areas only
• Respect all equipment, always keep your work area clean and use the bins provided
• Comply with and respect all building rules at all times

Always maintain acceptable standards of behaviour -

• Always show respect to staff, other learners and visitors
• Be polite, no shouting, swearing or abusive language
• Treat others as you want to be treated, apologise if you need to

Health & Safety, Safeguarding & the use of AI:

• Be vigilant - alert a member of staff if you notice anything concerning or unusual
• Look out for your classmates - raise a concern if you are worried about someone
• Always abide by all Health and Safety rules and wear appropriate PPE where necessary
• Ensure all work submitted is your own work. Only use AI as a helpful research assistant and disclose all AI use.
• Avoid using AI entirely during controlled examinations.
• Never upload personal details or confidential information.

Thank you for upholding this learner charter. In return we will ensure you receive high quality learning in a positive environment and are supported to become the very best that you can be.
