Wellbeing Support

We have an Employee Assistance Programme for FAC learners.

What this means is that all learners have access to up to 6 free therapy sessions, face to face, online or via video call per year and this is available 24/7, 365 days a year. There is also a health and wellbeing app and other forms of support available including:

• Family advice line
• Finance and debt information
• Legal advice

1-1 check-ins

Learners are encouraged to reach out to the CFs if they are struggling with the programme. Where necessary, the Relationships Lead will provide personalised 1-1 support where necessary.

Learners with Additional Needs

• Learners with additional learning needs, EHCPs, or under the age of 24 and in care of local authority may be eligible for additional funding to support during the Skills Bootcamp
• Learners will declare any additional learning needs to FAC during their enrolment and we will develop a Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) together before beginning training. The PLP is then shared with the Course Facilitators and are routinely reviewed as needed.
• All learners complete ‘Manuals for me’ documentation during 12 week training and this is shared among the cohort to outline preferred ways of working.
• Learners may be eligible to apply for reasonable adjustments during the hiring process with employers, and FAC will support with this where desired.
