Abingdon and Witney College is a general further education college based across three sites in Abingdon, Witney and Common Leys. The college has used the Quality Standard in Carer Support (QSCS) framework to develop and update their policies and procedures on supporting young adult carers, and in securing governor buy-in for this. They also reviewed their student support needs form and arranged for the local carers service to run awareness-raising training for their Student Performance managers and academic staff.

This case study goes into more detail about their successes, challenges and the benefits of the college securing the QSCS award.
