Gower College Swansea has earned the Carers Federation Quality Standard in Carer Support, reflecting its commitment to supporting both students and staff with caring responsibilities.
The accreditation recognises the college’s systematic approach to identifying carers, providing guidance, and ensuring support is accessible across all campuses. By strengthening referral pathways, appointing key contacts for carers, and linking closely with local support services, the college has built a framework that makes carer support visible and meaningful.
Staff training has been central to embedding awareness of caring roles into everyday practice. This helps ensure that students and staff feel understood and that their responsibilities outside the college are acknowledged.
The award demonstrates Gower College Swansea’s dedication to fostering an inclusive environment where carers can engage fully in education or work while balancing their caring duties, reflecting both compassion and organisational responsibility.
