We are a network of Further Education college staff, teachers and students working together to make education inclusive and empowering for all.
Together we raise awareness within Further Education (FE) of the issues facing people in the asylum system, including barriers to accessing and progressing in education, offer specialised support and education, and contribute to building a culture of welcome in the wider community.
FE Colleges can apply to be recognised for their efforts to build sanctuary and become an awarded FE College of Sanctuary. College are supported every step of the way either by the wider FE Colleges of Sanctuary network and the FE Colleges of Sanctuary Team at City of Sanctuary UK.
Please note: for our purposes, our Colleges of Sanctuary Stream refers to Further Education (FE) Colleges due to the specific complexities of post-19 education for people seeking sanctuary. Sixth form colleges would be under Schools of Sanctuary.
Interested in joining this movement of welcome?
This website, our Resource Pack and our half-termly newsletter are available to any college or partner that wishes to learn more and get involved.
