Suicide Prevention Day: Your Wellbeing Matters

In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, we are taking the opportunity to promote the wellbeing support services available at RNN Group. Organised by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and observed every year on 10 September, this day aims to raise awareness about preventing suicide cases globally. During this period, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the support options provided through our campuses.

Safeguarding

First and foremost, your wellbeing is our highest priority at RNN Group. We are fully committed to creating a secure environment where all students feel supported. Our safeguarding measures protect your health and human rights, ensuring that those most at risk are shielded from harm, abuse, or neglect, including but not limited to:

• Preventing bullying and harassment
• Maintaining safety and care
• Protecting against abuse and neglect
• Promoting health and development
• Ensuring the best life chances
