SAFETY AND WELFARE
We are committed to maintaining a friendly,
welcoming and safe learning environment for
all. Your safety and welfare are of the utmost
importance, and our Safeguarding Team will respond
immediately if there is a suspicion that any student
may be the victim of any form of abuse.
The College has an Equality Policy, promoting an
inclusive culture for all, and is committed to the
government’s national strategy for ‘Prevent’ which
safeguards you from extremism and radicalisation.
We are members of Operation Encompass in
partnership with the Bury Safeguarding Board and
Greater Manchester Police.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
There are a number of support mechanisms
available to students who are experiencing financial
difficulties whilst studying, including: Learner Support
Funds, Bursaries and Scholarships. All financial
support is subject to criteria and we advise you to
contact Student Services as soon as you enrol, (or
earlier if possible) for further information.
Free Meals in Further Education
All students are entitled to a free breakfast (toast and
a drink). From September 2026 all students aged
16-18 (or 19-25 with an EHCP) who claim, or have
parents that claim, Universal Credit will be eligible for
a free meal on the days that they are in College.
