At The City of Liverpool College, we pride ourselves on the support we offer to students who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. We understand that personal issues can often affect achievement and progression to where you want to be.
We have a team of experienced safeguarding professionals who can offer you support and advice and get you back on track. We can support you to have your voice heard, be your advocate during stressful times and signpost you to external services that offer help.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need support. You can contact us by:
There may be times when you need someone to listen to you and explore your issues in confidence. Our team of highly qualified counsellors are on hand to lend support throughout your time with us. The team offers a listening ear and full counselling sessions based on your needs.
You can access the service by emailing talktome@liv-coll.ac.uk or asking your teacher or progress leader to refer you for counselling.
The College is committed to ensuring a working and learning environment free from sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and sexual violence so all members of the College community can enjoy the right to study, live, work and be respected for the contribution they make.
The College has zero tolerance towards any bullying, harassment and abuse (including sexual abuse) and takes strict action to deal with any reported concerns. The College, however, recognises that some incidents of sexual harassment and abuse are not reported and hence are not dealt with. We encourage all of our students to recognise signs of abuse and seek support by:
