Health & Welfare
We recognise that any student can experience problems from time to time, not necessarily related to their academic studies. The Guidance & Welfare team will be the first line of contact for you to discuss what may be troubling you in a safe, non-judgmental environment. This could be:
- Benefit Advice
- Mental Health Issues
- General Health Issues
- Drug and Alcohol abuse
- Pregnancy
- Homelessness
- Financial debt
There will be an opportunity to access our counselling provision. This can be arranged quickly and in total confidence.
Safeguarding: Warrington Collegiate has a Safeguarding Policy to ensure that all vulnerable adults, young people and children attending activities in the college do so in a safe and secure environment. It sets out the steps we take to protect vulnerable adults, children and young people and the procedures we would use to deal with any issues.
The Safeguarding Policy is approved by the Governors and Senior Management. Any student concerned about their own safety or the safety of another student should speak to their Learning Coach/ Tutor, a Welfare Adviser in Learner Services or the college's Safeguarding Officers.
