ACCESSIBILITY
At Northamptonshire Centre for Counselling Studies (NCCS)
Equality, Diversity, and Accessibility
are at the heart of our values.
We are dedicated to treating all individuals—staff and students alike—with fairness and respect.
As future counsellors, you will encounter diversity in every client session, and we believe it’s essential that our student body reflects this diversity as well.
We welcome applications from people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from individuals who are currently underrepresented in this field, including people from ethnically diverse communities and all gender identities.
ACCESSIBILITY TO COURSES
NCCS works hard to make our courses accessible to everyone. We regularly seek guidance from a equality and diversity consultant to ensure we comply with UK Equality Law and offer the necessary adjustments.
While we’re a small, private training centre, we are committed to making reasonable accommodations to support students, such as adjustments for physical access, tailored learning support, or flexibility in course delivery.
However, as a small centre, we may not be able to provide the same resources as larger institutions—such as specialist equipment, regular one-to-one support, or access to student loans.
Despite this, we strive to reasonably meet individual needs and ensure that everyone can access our courses wherever we can.
COMMITMENT TO EQUALITY
We strictly oppose any form of discrimination or harassment based on:
Gender reassignment
Marital status
Race
Religion or belief
Sex
Sexual orientation
We are equally committed to rejecting prejudice on the grounds of:
Age
Disability
Pregnancy or maternity
Any instance of discrimination or inappropriate behaviour will be promptly confronted and addressed.
This policy is upheld by all members of the Centre, and any breach will be dealt with seriously.
At NCCS, we believe that promoting diversity and ensuring accessibility strengthens the learning environment, ultimately producing more empathetic and skilled counsellors.
