Pastoral support<br />
At Warrington & Vale Royal College student support comes<br />
first. Every student is allocated a Progress Coach and a<br />
Senior Tutor who will continuously monitor your progress<br />
and offer advice and guidance. This might be through oneto-one<br />
sessions, group tutorials, monitoring attendance and<br />
performance, and helping to prepare you for your next steps<br />
in education or employment.<br />
All of our students will also take part in the ‘You’ tutorial<br />
programme, which aims to support your personal and<br />
social development. Guest speakers from universities and<br />
companies such as Cheshire Police and the National Health<br />
Service (NHS) will come into college to deliver talks on a<br />
whole host of topics including mental health, careers, UCAS,<br />
drive safe, volunteering and British Values.<br />
Bursary support<br />
You may be eligible to access financial support from our<br />
Learner Support Fund, which is available to eligible students<br />
to support with associated costs of their course. This fund<br />
is means tested and will be calculated depending on your<br />
annual household income.<br />
For further information about finance and funding support, pop<br />
into Learner Services.<br />
Welfare Team<br />
Your well-being at college is very important to us. That is<br />
why we have a dedicated Welfare Team of highly-trained and<br />
experienced Welfare Advisers.<br />
The Welfare Team work closely with the Progress Coaches<br />
and the Senior Tutors to help you overcome any issues<br />
affecting your well-being. They can provide support and<br />
advice on a huge range of issues including health, welfare,<br />
financial worries, personal issues, and mental well-being.<br />
Safeguarding<br />
We are committed to ensuring all of our students are able to<br />
attend activities in college in a safe and secure environment.<br />
As well as dedicated Safeguarding Officers, all the college<br />
staff are trained in safeguarding practices, ensuring we follow<br />
strict policies and procedures designed to protect you.<br />
If you are concerned about your own safety or the safety<br />
of another student, please speak to your Progress Coach,<br />
Tutor, a Welfare Adviser in Learner Services or a college<br />
Safeguarding Officer.
