The Mental Health and Wellbeing of our staff and learners is very important to us at Rochdale Training, we regularly run both half day and full day wellbeing events and pride ourselves on taking time out to look after the wellbeing of each other.

If you feel like you need to talk to someone we have people on-site who can help you. Please see details below:
