Safeguarding
Please remember that you can access our Student Assistance Programme to keep you safe over the holidays.
The college provides the Student Assistance Programme and gives you access to a 24/7 helpline staffed by BACP-accredited counsellors who can help you with a range of issues, including:
- Counselling and emotional support
- Safeguarding concerns
- Money management and debt support
- Personal legal information
- Medical information (available Monday to Friday, between 9 am and 5 pm)
The service is anonymous but includes a link to local safeguarding and emergency services where immediate action is needed to keep you safe.
You simply need to call 0800 028 3766 to access this service.
There is also support available directly from the college Safeguarding Team during the college day and in the half-term holidays. Between 8.30 am and 4.00 pm Monday-Friday, please call Reception on 01743 653000 or email
Upgrade to Moodle Platform
The college is implementing a new single sign-on approach for Moodle over half-term. This will enable students to log in by simply clicking a Microsoft authentication button instead of typing in their username and password every time.
To ensure a smooth transition when converting student accounts, Moodle will be unavailable on:
- Saturday 14 February
- Sunday 15 February
- Monday 16 February
This approach allows single sign-on to be fully tested, minimising disruption.
Thank you for your patience as we improve our systems for you.
