The Health, Social, Childcare and Counselling Team have a wealth of professional experience from a wide range of care and educational settings. The Curriculum team also work in co-operation with early years settings, family centres and schools across Oxfordshire, and our team of placement assessors visit students regularly to support and guide their work practice.

Higher level courses can be studied at both sites with the Foundation Degree in Families Parenting and Communities, the Diploma in Integrative Counselling and the Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision available at Oxford with the Foundation Degree in Classroom Support available at Banbury.

Students take an active part in college life and are encouraged to become involved in projects that provide additional benefit to the community. Last year students worked tirelessly to fund and build a sensory garden on the Oxford Campus. The garden, full of plants with wonderful textures and fragrance is now being enjoyed by all as a peaceful retreat from the lively buzz of the campus.
