Mental Health and other Safeguarding Advice

Mental Health

Our Welfare and Accommodation Officers, as well as our Head of Student Services, are available to support and advise students with any problems that may arise while they are away from home. Any help or advice will be given in a professional and confidential manner. If necessary, we can put students in touch with a local a GP, mental health advisor or counsellor.

Students or their parents /guardians or agents must inform us before enrolment of any history of mental health so we can advise whether our courses are suitable for them or how we could make our courses suitable for them.

We are unable to accept students with significant mental health issues.

If we become aware of serious mental health issues after a student arrives, we will contact their parents / guardians or agent to inform them that we are not equipped to deal with such cases and that they should make arrangements for the student to return home. In these cases every effort is made not to distress the student. If you as a homestay provider are concerned for the mental health of your student please contact us immediately.
