The health and well-being of our students is at the heart of everything we do, we ensure all learners leave us with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to be healthy (mentally and physically) and successful adults.

Importance of student wellbeing
AccXel has a statutory and moral duty to ensure that the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults is safeguarded, and that we provide a safe environment for our learners to thrive. AccXel will take appropriate action to ensure that all learners are kept safe in the workplace, at the college, its satellites or at home. Students who feel safe and protected have a higher self-esteem, are more confident, resilient, and engaged.
