All about us

The Learning and Development Centre is part of Step Up Day provision (RCCL).

We provide day care services to anyone aged 18 and over who have special needs.

Within the day provision we support anyone over the age of 18 years of age with special needs.

The learning and development room is for adults who are more independent who may already be attending college and need something for the days off from college and holidays, or ones who can’t cope with the college environment yet still want to enhance independence and life skills, who may need support and guidance only.
The work is tailored / structured to suit the individual’s skills and ability.

We are based in Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury West Yorkshire.

• Two Training days (twice a year).
