WELLBEING & YOUR SUPPORT

New College is a place that embraces and celebrates our differences. We want all of our students to feel happy, valued and wellsupported. Your progress tutor will often be your first port-of-call if you’re finding things tough. They can provide you with individual advice and support or signpost you to other professionals that can also help, such as our team of counsellors or organisations outside of college. We run lots of events and campaigns throughout the year, helping students to stay safe and to make positive decisions that support good physical and mental health. We also have an experienced and committed team supporting students with additional learning needs (SEND) and a dedicated safeguarding team.

New College has a dedicated team of counsellors situated within the privacy of our onsite Well-being Hub, to confidentially support our students with their mental health and emotional well-being. Regular 1-2-1 appointments or drop-in sessions are available throughout term time. The Well-being Hub is also where you will find our Safeguarding Officer, should you have any safeguarding concerns or queries.
