instruction policy.<\/b><\/p><ul><li>On accepting a trainee with special education needs or disabilities on a course or a programme, GTI accepts responsibility to provide <strong>equitable treatment<\/strong> appropriate to meet that individual\u2019s needs while training.<\/li><li>GTI training rooms and premises will be reviewed on admission of any trainee with special needs and\/or disabilities, to ensure that the <strong>learning environment is welcoming and accessible<\/strong>. For example, desks might need to be repositioned for placement of a wheelchair.<\/li><li>GTI undertakes to do its very best to <strong>prevent, minimize, and\/or remove any barriers<\/strong> to the participation in the training and learning activities by individuals with special needs or disabilities.<\/li><li>Trainers will <strong>differentiate teaching, resources and learning activities<\/strong>, routinely considering the diversity of learners enrolled in their programmes when planning training. Trainers will provide learning opportunities that engage the range of different abilities and variety of learning styles evident amongst trainees in their classes.<\/li><li>Trainers and training coordinators may make <strong>special arrangements for assessment<\/strong> and\/or provide appropriate facilities if required to enable the assessment of trainees with special needs, while ensuring that any modifications to the conduct of tests and examinations preserve the integrity of the essential learning outcomes and standards of the course or programme. The Assessment and Moderation Policy T\/P\/005 aims for fairness and inclusivity, stating that assessment tasks should provide every trainee with a fair opportunity to demonstrate their learning and should not discriminate against trainees based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or disability.<\/li><li>Staff will maintain the highest ethical standards, maintaining appropriate levels of confidentiality regarding information about a trainee\u2019s special needs or disabilities disclosed, conducting any follow-up response in a <strong>sensitive,<\/strong> <strong>timely<\/strong> and <strong>supportiv<\/strong>e manner.<\/li><li>GTI will strive for <strong>excellence and innovation<\/strong> in the provision of training, and support for trainees with special needs and disabilities.<\/li><li>GTI\u2018s special needs policy and procedures will be <strong>continuously reviewed<\/strong> to ensure they reflect GTI\u2019s vision, mission, and values; that they are consistent with other GTI policies; and that they remain <strong>compliant <\/strong>with any changes to Bahrain legislation and regulations.<\/li><\/ul><p><b>4.2 Based on these principles, GTI\u2019s Minimum Threshold Requirements are to:<\/b><\/p><ul><li>ensure that the provision for trainees with special needs and\/or disabilities is <strong>differentiated and inclusive<\/strong>, so that they can participate in relevant learning activities and be given every opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes specified in the programme that they are enrolled in.<\/li><li>maintain<strong> confidentiality, <\/strong>so that information and records relating to the special needs or disabilities of a trainee are not released without the consent in writing of the learner.<\/li><li>be <strong>responsive<\/strong> to any concerns raised by the trainee with special needs and\/or disabilities, making them aware of GTI\u2019s Complaints Policy, where issues cannot be resolved at programme level to the satisfaction of all parties in a timely manner.<\/li><li>to maintain<strong> compliance<\/strong> with applicable government legislation and
