Safeguarding & Wellbeing Support

Your wellbeing is important to us.

That is why we have a dedicated Wellbeing Team of highly-trained and experienced advisors.

The Safeguarding & Inclusion Team works closely with Progress Coaches to help you overcome any issues affecting your well-being. They can provide support and advice on a wide range of issues including health, welfare, financial worries, personal issues and mental health.

We recognise that any student can experience problems from time to time, not necessarily related to their academic studies. The Safeguarding & Inclusion Team will be the first line of contact for you to discuss what may be troubling you in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

This could be:

  • Mental health issues
  • General health issue
  • Drug and alcohol abuse
  • Pregnancy

  • College Nurse

  • Youth Worker for drug and alcohol support
  • Police Engagement Officer

Safeguarding

Warrington & Vale Royal College 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 Progress Coach/Tutor, our Wellbeing Officer or a Safeguarding & Inclusion Manager.

The college Safeguarding Team are located in the Learning Resource Centre at Warrington and behind reception at Winsford campus. They can be contacted on 01925 494 222 or email safeguarding@wvr.ac.uk.
