Colleagues and colleges have the opportunity to recognise, reward and celebrate excellent practice, significant achievements and exceptional commitment in the annual Sixth Form Colleges Association (SFCA) awards, and Sandwell College has been recognised for its work in The Health and Wellbeing category.
Principal and Chief Executive Officer Graham Pennington commented;
“We’re delighted to be recognised for our mental health and wellness initiatives. I’m incredibly proud of the extensive and tailored support we have in place across The Sandwell Family of Colleges to support our learners, staff and the wider community with issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing. The impact is enormous and real, and it’s all made possible by the passion and commitment of individual staff members who work so hard to remove barriers and realise potential. It’s a real privilege to lead a College with mental health support truly at the heart of its culture and it’s encouraging to see the positive impact we are making year on year.”
Every year, the SFCA provide this sector-wide opportunity and select a small number of providers nationally, who shine within eight areas of work. This is an invaluable way to share the successes of the sector and celebrate the achievements and impact of individual Colleges.
The awards for 2023/4 were determined on Wednesday evening, 19th June and Sandwell College was recognised for its work on Mental Health & Wellness. The Health and Wellbeing category specifically acknowledges initiatives and programs that prioritise the mental and physical wellbeing of the college community, including students and staff. This achievement is down to the tireless efforts of so many of our staff whose commitment and dedication is unwavering.
