Student Voice and Enrichment

At Stam­ford Col­lege we believe that all young peo­ple have the right to an edu­ca­tion, regard­less of what is hap­pen­ing at home.

We know that the move from School to Col­lege can be chal­leng­ing for many stu­dents as well as excit­ing. How­ev­er, we recog­nise that young car­ers face dif­fer­ent issues and want dif­fer­ent lev­els of sup­port. The Stu­dent Ser­vices Team includes peo­ple who are here to help and sup­port with this move to College.

Guid­ed by you, we can work with your Stu­dent Men­tor and your lec­tur­ers to ensure that they are sen­si­tive to your needs. You can access a range of sup­port from our Young Car­ers Cham­pi­on (our Stu­dent Engage­ment and Wel­fare Advi­sors) which includes our Termly Young Car­ers 1:1 ses­sion at Col­lege, finan­cial sup­port and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to access fur­ther sup­port from local carer’s agencies.

At Stam­ford Col­lege, we work close­ly with col­leagues from Lincs Car­ers Part­ner­ship, Car­ers FIRST and Car­ers Trust Peter­bor­ough to ensure that we under­stand the needs of young adult car­ers. As a result of our con­tin­u­ous com­mit­ment in the pro­vi­sion of sup­port to Young Car­ers at Stam­ford Col­lege, we have been accred­it­ed with a Lin­colnshire Car­ers Qual­i­ty Award which aims to pro­mote a vari­ety of ways we can iden­ti­fy, engage, respect and sup­port our young car­ers in Col­lege, award­ed by every​-one​.org​.uk ​“You Care- We Care”.
