Your Health and Wellbeing at SRC

Safeguarding is about helping students to keep themselves safe and to prevent harm happening to them Safeguarding is also about responding to concerns about alleged and suspected harm and putting in place plans to help and protect those who cannot protect themselves Everyone has the right to live their lives free from violence and abuse. If you are worried about a student, please talk to us. If we are concerned about their safety, we may need to share this information with others, but we will always tell them first At Southern Regional College, all members of staff are trained in the protection of children, young people, adults at risk and adults in need of protection, safe from harm The Student Safeguarding Officers, have undergone additional training for these roles Contact details for the Colleges Safeguarding Officers are available on the SRC website and can be seen below

"We know exactly how exciting, and at times challenging, the transition to further and higher education can be. Whether building a new social network or studying more independently for the first time, change can sometimes be dauntingparticularly as we adapt to our changing world. It’s good to know that through those times there is always someone to talk to. If you have experienced difficulties through the college closure and Covid-19, or any issues returning to college, Inspire are here to support you. That’s why we’re working in partnership with SRC to deliver a counselling service, paid for by the college for all of its students."
