Inclusion

Discover how our dedicated Inclusion team supports every student to succeed. Explore tailored support, accessibility services and guidance for your college journey.

Our Inclusion Mentors

Our Inclusion Mentors will be available to help you build the skills you need to succeed. They’ll guide you towards career goals and offer support if you’re facing challenges.

Whether it’s building a routine, getting to classes or finding your way around campus, you’re not alone.

We’re friendly, we listen and we get it.

Let’s find your feet, together.

What our students say

“The Zen Den helped me at the start of the year as it’s a nice way of getting students to meet others, to have an area to sit with friends, or by yourself, do arts and crafts or to just sit and be calm. It also helps me when I’m anxious and do not have anywhere else to go at lunch times.”

The inclusion space is: “calm”, “chilled”, “welcoming”, “a good break place from lessons”, “a safe place to be”, “a quiet place to sit and do my work”, “a cosy and sweet place to read”, “a place for my wellbeing”, “quiet place to relax.”

The inclusion mentors: “are lovely”, “are amazing”, “are welcoming”, “listen and care.”

“I like the Zen Den because I used to be bored at lunch with nothing to do. Now I can sit down and do some activities, or just my own thing and it’s quite a nice break from lessons.”
