Information for Parents, Guardians & Carers

It’s tough being a student and we know that young people don't always want to talk to us, or their parent/guardian about how their feeling. That’s why we’ve launched TalkCampus. An app where our students can talk with other students from around the world if their struggling and worried about their mental health. Students can download the app here.

This app is in addition to our highly qualified safeguarding and support for learning teams, which include Pastoral Support Mentors, Counsellors and Additional Learning Support.

Wirral Met provides outstanding support for students, to help students progress onto apprenticeships, jobs and university.

In addition to Personal Tutors, Wirral Met has a dedicated Additional Learning Support team providing support to those who need it. The team is there to support your son or daughter with specific learning needs including dyslexia/dyspraxia, physical difficulties, and mental health and well-being. Pastoral Support Mentors provide support with personal issues, problems relating to finance, time management and study support to help students keep up with their work.

Wirral Met works in partnership with employers to provide work placements to improve students’ experience and confidence in the workplace, which helps them progress into apprenticeships and jobs.

Wirral Met takes the health and wellbeing of our students very seriously. We have a Safeguarding Manager, with specific policies regarding safeguarding, zero tolerance on bullying and health and safety of students, staff and visitors to College.

Please call our Student Services team on 0151 551 7777 if you have any safeguarding concerns about your son or daughter.

• Attend every class
• Work hard and give 100% in their work
• Show respect to their tutors and other students
• We monitor attendance and all classes are registered; tutors will inform parents if a student’s attendance drops.
• We review each student’s performance during regular personal tutorials; each student’s Individual Learning Plan is updated with targets and details of their progress

We hope you will join us in supporting and encouraging your son or daughter to take their studies seriously, attend all classes, behave appropriately, be punctual and hand work in on time.

T Levels are technical qualifications at level 3, equivalent to taking 3 A Levels. They are for those aged 16-19 who have finished their GCSEs and want the knowledge and experience to progress into a job, apprenticeship or Higher Education.
