• Conduct LLN assessments effectively

• Interpret results

• Guide students toward appropriate support options

3. Provide Individualised Support Services

• Develop a suite of support options including:

• Study skills sessions

• These must be aligned with the specific needs identified in the assessments.

4. Keep Detailed and Accurate Records

Maintain clear records of:

5. Regularly Review and Improve Your Approach

Build LLN compliance into your continuous improvement cycle. Reassess your tools, procedures, and support offerings regularly to ensure ongoing compliance and better student outcomes.
