A dedicated and skilled team at the

College provides information and

criteria and further information on

the types of funding available please

What support is available to you?

Healthy College Being healthy is much more than

simply eating well or remaining

active. Doncaster College provides

a wide range of healthy options

for you while studying with us. The

Be Well Centre is available for all

students and located on level 5.

Anti BullyingBullying in any shape or form will

never be tolerated in college. You

through the Counselling Team,

Pastoral Support Workers or the

Student Union.

Counselling ServiceCounselling is available to all

members of the College community,

appointments are offered daily

at The Hub, University Centre

Doncaster and Northern Racing

College. Counselling involves talking

and listening; many students find

that speaking to a Counsellor about

difficult things can be less awkward

than speaking about them to friends

and family members.

Safety and SecurityWe want you to feel safe at the

College and we expect all students

to behave sensibly and in line with

College policy. We have a specialist

Security Team and video system

in place for your security. All staff,

Chaplaincy and Multi-FaithWe run a multi-faith chaplaincy

service, which is supported by a

number of faith groups in Doncaster.

The service caters for the spiritual

needs of the whole College

community.

You can use the multi-faith room at

The Hub or High Melton, no matter

what your faith or if you have no

faith. It’s a place for you to go to

pray, or just sit quietly with your

thoughts. Chaplains will lead prayers

at specific times, which you can find

out through our plasma screens and

the student website.

Pastoral SupportThe Pastoral Support Workers are

part of a team that are here to

support and listen to you and ensure

you can successfully complete your

programme. They can help when

particular difficulties are preventing

you from performing at your best.

discussions or contact by phone for

a chat.

mention that we have a safe and supportive environment

where there is mutual respect and zero tolerance for bullying. Our students
