Who we are

Our Welfare Advisors provide support for any students experiencing hardship or in need
of financial support.

They also provide specialist bespoke support in the following areas:

Young Carers:
Young carers are those under the age of 18 who have the responsibility of caring for someone else - normally a family member with a mental or physical illness/ physical and/ or mental disability, substance misuse such as alcohol or drugs.

Estranged Students:
This is someone studying without the support of a family network.

Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC)
This is a young person who is in local authority care due to being in the country without any family. We have a dedicated Wellbeing Officer for students who are Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Children (UASC).

Looked after Children (LAC) If you have been in care for a minimum of 13 weeks, some of which was after age 16, you are entitled to continuing support from your local authority until age 25. As a looked-after child, until the age of 18 you will be invited to attended Personal Education Plan and Looked After Child reviews, to ensure that your needs are being met.

If any of the above applies to you, please get in touch with the Safeguarding and Wellbeing team for support during your time at college.
