Adapting to the outcomes of the Equity and Excellence in Education consultation, and the review of enterprise and skills agencies will also influence the work of the college. Supporting students to fulfil their potential Our vision is to provide seamless support for students which removes barriers to learning and assists them to fulfil their potential. It is essential that support is tailored to the individual and that our universal services support access and inclusion for all students. Student Services staff are the first point of contact for students providing information, advice and guidance throughout their time at college. Feedback on the services and personal support provided by advisors is very positive, and we will continue to review our services for students. We will continue to support the wellbeing of our students through education and interventions on drugs, alcohol, mental health, and other behavioural and social difficulties. Our three innovative shared posts - created in partnership with Police Scotland, NHS Ayrshire and Arran, and the Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnerships - have enabled us to offer a unique range of services and interventions for our students. This has had a significant positive impact on student retention. Over the next three years we will build on this resource to support our students to be resilient and maintain their mental wellbeing. Over the last year Student Services, curriculum and performance and planning teams, have improved early student retention, and reducing student withdrawals will continue to be a priority for the next three years. We will continue to develop our practice and ensure that there is consistent support for students across the college. The college will work with partners to understand how to better support younger students and other vulnerable groups, to select a course that is right for them, to sustain their learning and achieve positive outcomes.
