SAFEGUARDING AND WELFARE
Stockton Riverside College is committed to safeguarding our students, with a commitment shown in our college values. We prioritise your safety at all times. We have a safeguarding and welfare team at all of our college sites. We can offer advice and support, ensuring that help can be sought from external agencies where needed. This enables the best outcomes for your safety and wellbeing.
We offer information, advice and guidance on a range of issues including:
• Mental health • Managing relationships • Housing • Substance misuse • Sexual health • Benefits • Internet safety
If you should feel unsafe or feel you need to access support, we are here to make sure you are heard and safe at all times.
EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
We value the diversity of our college community and promote inclusion for all. We make sure that all of our students receive the same provision and access to our services. We encourage a culture of respect and commit to tackling prejudice at all levels. By encouraging students and staff to share their own experiences, we aim to promote mutual understanding, tolerance and respect.
PAYING FOR YOUR COURSE
If you are under 19 at the start of your course there should be no fees to pay. If you are aged 19 or above speak to our Admissions Team about fees, repayment and student loan opportunities*.
If you need support with travel, childcare, meals or equipment**, you will be invited to fill out a bursary application to determine if you are eligible to receive financial support during your studies at Stockton Riverside College.
Students can also get a TOTUM card and sign up for online student discounts (such as Uni Days and Student Beans) giving discounts on music, fashion, books, films and much more. For more details about fees and funding visit our website.
