Students Who Are Carers

Northern Regional College is committed to widening access and to providing equity of opportunity to all its learners to help ensure that all our students are supported to reach their full potential. The College is therefore committed to supporting student carers, and being as flexible as possible to assist at all stages of their learning journey.

We endeavour to offer access and be as inclusive as possible and this underpins and guides all we do providing an umbrella under which every aspect of the student journey is encompassed.  Student carers, along with other priority groups, are highlighted as a particular group who may require some additional support to enter education and achieve a successful outcome.

Northern Regional College works with a wide range of external stakeholders, to provide our students with the best learning experience possible, including partners in the Health and Social Care sector, other statutory and voluntary agencies.  Should you be a student with caring responsibilities, please contact the Education Support Co-ordinator on your campus, and they will work with you to help ensure you have the best learning experience possible.

Please be aware that you may have to provide evidence of your caring responsibilities in order to access assistance.
