Enrichment

Student engagement officers on each campus run a series of events including fundraising, guest speakers and pop-ups  to promote a safe and respectful culture in college and  raise awareness of wider community issues such as substance misuse, sexual exploitation, equality and diversity,  keeping safe on-line, safe and healthy relationships and  radicalisation and extremism (Prevent)
 

Wellbeing Advisers

Each campus has a wellbeing adviser to support you with personal, social, health and wellbeing matters on a day-to-day basis. The wellbeing advisors can for example brake down problems into simple choices to help you decide what to do next.The wellbeing advisor may signpost you to other support services as appropriate.

with day to day
ups and downs
when I feel
confused or upset.

Counselling
 

There is also a Counselling Service is available to all full-time and part-time students enrolled at the College. The service is free and term-time only. In general there is no limit to the number of sessions or the number of times that students can access the Counselling Service. Some students come only once or twice, some for a term or longer, this is negotiated with each student.
 

Counselling helped me
to understand and take
control of my anxiety

There may, however, be times when there is high demand for counselling and on those occasions we reserve the right to limit the number of sessions to no more than six per student.
