Student Welfare
At MLC, not only do we inspire our students to achieve academic excellence, but we also want their experience with us to be a rewarding one on a personal and social level.
We are aware of the potential issues – such as homesickness – that international students living in a foreign country may face, and we understand only too well the concerns that families and friends may have when their loved ones – particularly the younger ones – travel abroad.
That’s why each MLC school offers both a dedicated Safeguarding and Welfare Team as well as a range of measures aimed at ensuring that students have access to the advice they need and feel supported at all times. In addition, multilingual staff can help translate for those students who may feel more comfortable speaking in their own native language.
Further Measures For Under -16s
For teenagers under 16 years of age restrictions are somewhat stricter and the following measures apply in addition to those above:
They have an 8PM curfew
They will only be placed in accommodation where no students aged 18 or above are present at the same time
At least one responsible adult who has undergone suitable Police checks will always be present in the accommodation overnight
They cannot join adult classes under any circumstances, they must be taught in a closed group or in a private class with teachers who have undergone Police checks
They will be assigned class times and breaks that limit the time they are in contact with adult students
They will not be allowed to leave the school premises unaccompanied during their scheduled time at the school
The social programme will be appropriate to the young age of the students, who will be supervised by at least 1 responsible adult per 15 students. Unsupervised time on trips may be curtailed or not allowed at all, depending on the location. This will be decided on the basis of a risk assessment conducted by the school. Generally, the younger the student, the more likely these restrictions are to apply.
