We recognise that being a parent or carer can be hard work at times and if your young person is experiencing difficult or challenging circumstances aside from their studies, it can be even harder.

Keeping informed with some of the issues young people experience can be difficult as this is an ever-changing picture.To help, we've compiled a selection of useful links, articles, and advice to get you started here, where you can also find information about the support we offer at college.

Section 175 of the Education Act 2002 gives maintained schools and colleges a statutory duty to promote and safeguard the welfare of children, and to have due regard to the DCFS policy ‘Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education’ and the Children Act 1989 and 2004 Guidance.

Please see our safeguarding page for more information.
