Care Of Under 18s & Pastoral Care
While our whole team works together to ensure this, we also have two residential Student Welfare Managers who are contactable 24/7 by students and their parents.
In addition to comforting homesick children, the Student Welfare Managers also organise airport transfers, help children with special dietary needs, provide first aid and organise care of ill children.
By providing a carefully planned, well-organised and properly supervised programme, we do our utmost to promote our students’ safety and welfare at all times.
Our dedicated Student Welfare Managers and residential staff are responsible for supervising students during all activities, weekend excursions and in the boarding houses, while our teachers are responsible for supervising them in class and on mid-week excursions. Students must always be accounted for and cannot leave campus without their group leader or a member of the FCLC staff.
As proof of this, in our most recent full, in-person British Council inspection (2016), we were awarded seven areas of strength, including care of under 18s, quality assurance, care of students, premises and facilities, accommodation, staff management and leisure opportunities.
By offering our students a well-planned, organised and supervised programme, we look after their safety and wellbeing at all times.
We want every student on our programme to feel like they belong and they can be themselves.
Therefore, we expect mutual respect of everyone on our programme. To achieve this, we teach critical thinking skills and encourage kindness as our students interact with others who do not share their culture, beliefs or way of life.
