Health, Wellbeing and Disability
Pembrokeshire College is committed to supporting all employees and learners, and particularly those with disabilities or those experiencing challenges in the workplace related to their health or a protected characteristic.
College leaders drive progress and send clear messages that looking after both mental/physical health and wellbeing is a priority.
The appointment of a Health and Wellbeing Officer dedicated to employees ensures that appropriate supportive and professional advice is always available for managers and employees. Working in partnership with the Human Resources team they have developed (and provided appropriate training for) a team of eight voluntary Health and Wellbeing Champions amongst the staff body. Each Champion has received Rhyl City Strategy (RCS Wales) Wellbeing Champion training.
Champions provide peer support for colleagues who may be experiencing personal or professional difficulties due to a disability or mental health concern. This is under the guidance of the Health and Wellbeing Officer who will appropriately signpost or escalate if necessary.
They also, in partnership with Health and Wellbeing Champions and professionals across the College, promote mental health campaigns and implement initiatives to raise awareness and de-stigmatise conversations about mental health. By regularly reporting and publishing data Pembrokeshire College is able to demonstrate transparency, accountability and ongoing commitment to our progress on mental health, wellbeing and disability.
This ensures that individuals are more easily able to share mental health and/or disability concerns and access reasonable/appropriate adjustments to support employees to remain in work/quickly return to work and to realise their full potential. Reasonable adjustments can range from adjusted start and finish times to uplifted sickness absence triggers.
The College works with Insight Occupational Health Services to support employees and line managers where a health-related condition is impacting in the workplace. Dedicated mental health advisors and neurodiversity advisors are available to give confidential specialist advice around workplace adjustments or other support strategies. Working in partnership with Insight the College ensures that appropriate reasonable adjustments are put in place to support any individual with a disability.
The College reports annually on the number of employees who consider themselves to have a physical or mental disability. For the 2024/25 academic year (the last available data) this was 12% (62 individuals) with 7% (39 individuals) choosing to withhold that information. This is a significant reduction from the 18% who withheld their information prior to an equality survey undertaken in 2023, evidencing increasing trust and confidence in the College as an employer who will appropriately support those with disabilities.
