Advice and Pastoral Support

Our SST office is open daily 8.30am – 5pm where you can arrange an appointment or if a member of the team is available, see them there and then. Our team is available to help with general enquiries, but can also offer information on specific areas of support, including:

  • Pastoral Support, including mental health and wellbeing
  • Finance advice, including FE bursaries
  • Signposting to external services
  • Safeguarding

This list is by no means exhaustive, and Student Services can discuss support available through Confetti, Nottingham Trent University and other agencies, where appropriate.
