The learners are also advised at this point of the guidance role that we as lecturers offer throughout their learning experience at the college. Therefore I agree with Gray et al (2000) who state that effective student guidance is integral to successful learning and achievement. When offering a supportive role to my learners I make myself available to them.

3.2 Example of implementing college G&S policies
I am committed to supporting the college policies, maintain strong links between the student services to ensure that I provide support, guidance, building positive relationships throughout and my knowledge underpins my thinking and practice in guidance and support. Ayrshire College does not have a guidance and support policy but it is incorporated within the Inclusive Learning Procedure. I have referred learners to student services for PLSP assessment, involving their guidance lecturer by including them in the email.
