Dear Poppy,

Please find below our response to your FOI request dated 3^rd July 2019. 

1.    Do you offer special provisions for counselling services for
students specific to bereavement?

Yes

2.    Do you offer any support or counselling services for students?

Yes

3.    Do you have an institution wide policy/guidance regarding caring for
students following a bereavement?

No

4.    Do your policies or practices exclusively relate to support for
students who have lost parents or does your support factor in other forms
of bereavement, such as losing a sibling?

The College would offer counselling and support for students who had
sustained bereavement of someone they were close to. This would include
friends as well as family.

5.    Can you tell me what special provision you have for offering
extensions and academic breaks in study after a bereavement?

We carry out a Fitness to Study which supports, breaks in learning, return
to study and includes any form of support a student may need including
counselling. This is not specific to bereavement but can be used to
support a student who has sustained a bereavement.

6.    How much money did you allocate to counselling and support services
for bereavement per year (Jan 2016-Jan 2019)?

No data available

7.    If you feel you would like to offer an opinion, would you say your
institution feels you are offered enough from the Government in order to
support students who have experienced bereavement while studying?

No opinion

Kind Regards,

FOI Team
