College’s mental health charter pledge
Orrell St John Rigby College has reaffirmed a commitment to staff and students by signing up to a new national mental health and wellbeing charter created by the Association of Colleges in conjunction with mental health experts.
The 11-point document includes commitments to promoting equality of opportunity and challenging mental health stigma; providing appropriate mental health training for staff; and providing targeted individual mental health support where appropriate. Every year, one in 10 young people experiences a mental health problem and one in five aged 16 to 24 experiences a common mental illness such as anxiety or depression at any one time.
