| If you need information,
advice or support you can contact one of our welfare advisers. Staff offer advice
on many issues including welfare, benefits, finance, housing, immigration and
personal problems. The service is available on both a drop-in and appointment
basis at all college centres.
We also have Connexions Personal Advisers who provide comprehensive support and advice to students aged 14-19
years.
Student Support Funds
You can apply to Student Services for help towards
the cost of travel, childcare, fees and equipment. Financial support can only
be given to students in genuine difficulty and we cannot guarantee that all applications
will be successful. To apply for funds you can obtain a Student Support Funds
application form which is at all college centres.
Childcare
There is a nursery at the Regent's Park and Peel Centres. We offer part-time and full-time places to children
aged 2-5 years. Our team of experienced, qualified staff provide a safe, happy
and stimulating environment. The nursery supervisor will be happy to explain and
support all your queries. Places are in high demand so it is advisable to apply
as soon as possible once you enrol.
Students may apply for Student Support funds
to assist with childcare costs. If we are unable to help you with a place for
your child in our nurseries, we can assist you in finding a childminder or a nursery
but they must be registered with the local social services department. The Childcare team have good links with local crèches and childminders.
